Personally, I quite like the Morrisons 49p philps ones.
I've installed 20 as garage lights, on a wire, along the middle of a

That is a good sized garage.

Indeed - I meant 12*4

Works well, and is a hell of a lot brighter and saves energy over the
other choice, which was 2*500W floodlights.

How do these things cope in the cold?

A bit slow to warm up.
But then, because they were so cheap, I've put in about double the
wattage that I really 'need', so to get up to half 'normal' brightness
isn't bad at all.
