LED Strip Lights
In June I asked about LED strip lights, asking about real-world
experiences. Now I've had some can report that some are really good, some others... I bought some of these for under cabinet lighting in the kitchen: http://www.yourwelcome.co.uk/cgi-bin...D501&NOLOGIN=1 £62.58 for 4 strips plus driver. I got three strips on one driver to light under a 1.2 length of cabinets. They do the job very well, providing good bright light just where it's needed. A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the old thread and found the Ikea version for about half the price: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30119408 £29.26 for 4 strips plus driver. I would say that they're about half as bright, so not enough for the kitchen setting. They'll do well enough for a display cabinet I need to light though. So I would definitely recommend the product from Your Welcome, and can add that their service is excellent too. I've also bought the GU10 LED lamps they sell, and they are jolly bright, though the beam spread is a bit narrow. Expensive, but if they do last 40Kh as advertised, they save on regular GU10 halogen replacements (even at Screwfix prices) for bulbs alone, never mind power consumption. Andrew |
