[red eye]

Just fitted the 4.5W E14 R50 bulbs from LED hut in my kitchen

Very pleased, great colour and spread and very bright. Win

Miles better than the crappy 3W eBay ones

i regret getting daylight from the hut.... Way too bright

Saw these in ikea, are they a good price over there?

 

[anything I don't mind]

Just bought my first LED light from GE. comes with 25 years life span expectancy cost £10. Has 700 lumen output at 10w and compared to incandescent which is about 60w to get the same lumen output. I am going to replace every light with LED!

This is what i bought from local light shop near my work.

So currently where's the best place for 12-15 GU10 LEDs?

We're currently looking to fill the kitchen/dining room with downlights instead of the two roses. I guess something along the lines of 5w warm white.

Got three of these a month or two ago and very happy with them - https://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights/gu10-led-bulbs/new-4-5-watt-gu10-led-350-lumens.html

Someone posted a little while ago a colour changing LED bulb, I think it came with a remote. Does anyone have the link handy?

**EDIT**

NVM, I found it.

Can you get lamps/stands for the GU10 LED Bulb?

Yeah I had spotted those Duke, just been reading a few comments on the last page though Seems LED hut have ramped up their prices...

Just found these although I have never heard of 'Kosnic'

I'll be using these. Seem to be good value.

Quick 'spec me' - in need of 3xE14 in warm white, to replace 42w halogens. These were a bit bright as it is for the area they are lighting (landing). Probably want 30w equiv?

Which brands should I look for and what rating does it translate to in LED?

Edit: Something like this ?

 

[chaparral]

You only fitting them lights so no one trips over that hose and sues you........

And why is the second light on the end gable that points down to the bins not lit ?

ha, yea it's a total mess isn't it! installed them to light the path to the garage, and generally make it a bit nicer out there but the previous owners never bothered with anything so the place is horrid and needs a tidy-up and clean! the hose is always lying around though - that's just me being lazy.

The other light isn't on because it's a fuel-burning-maniac-250watt halogen thing! I need to take it out really as it's a bit redundant - probably will carry these spots around the corner instead, but on a different switch / programer / PIR.

this was the result during the day:


a little bit 'function-over-form' but I don't mind them. didn't really have many alternatives and I tink I've managed to hide the JBs quite well - they are hidden by the light fixtures themselves.


Here it is at night (real photo):


That picture I put up here before was just a mockup I made up before doing it - it's not a real image... the photo underneath is; but the lights were done in 3D using the nearest .IES profile I could find to replicate a GU10! it was a bit OTT but more of a sanity check to see if it would look daft or not - 'looking daft' is subjective - I ruled in favour of it not 'looking daft' so went ahead

Have not bought LED lights for a while now so not sure where the best deals and best units are.

Am looking ot replace the CFL lamps thjat have come with my new house with LED ones. What I am after are as follows

Living Room - ES LED lamp and dimmer controller, which must be 2-way capable
Kitchen - ES LED lamp and dimmer. Dimmer must have 3 switches on and idealy be able to swap one of the dimmers for a straight on off switch as this cotrolls the extractor fan
Hall, Landing, Bed 1, Bed 2 and Bed 3 - LED Lamp. Unsure of the fitting on these, but would hazard a guess at them being bayonet.

Am not wanting to get anything off the bay as do not want to risk the chance of getting some dodgy knock-off imitation lump

I've been looking at improving the lighting in our kitchen, we've had coloured led tape round the top for a while but the controllers were infrared and had to be pointed at each area and you had to select the colours independently (plus they didn't match)

So new pile of gear, all wireless. 4 different zones controlled by one remote. New RGBW led strip, one "pill" handles RGB, a separate "pill" handles white on its own so when you switch to white you get proper white light.

I could take a dozen photos with all different effects but they all look great to us

The end under unit nearest the patio doors bugs me, I didn't think it would matter but it does so I will be sorting out the gear to get that one covered too, another controller and power supply over the Christmas break

 

[silversurfer]

[Kimi]

[FONT=&quot] [FONT=&quot]I had been searching for a while [FONT=&quot]for [FONT=&quot]t[FONT=&quot]he gear to d[FONT=&quot]o it wirelessly and came acr[FONT=&quot]oss ultraleds.co.uk Exchanged a few emails with them and they were [FONT=&quot]helpful suggesting the products I needed.

Just a heads up folks, the below lamps are on BOGOF at screwfix. I have them installed in the bedroom, and no complaints here. They arent advertised as BOGOF but when you add them to the basket they appear to be.
