Default 'UFO' LED lamps

https://ledlam.co.uk/shop/ledlam-e27...eid=6c6b87583e

I've not seen these before. At 20W, 1900 lm and 160 deg. angle they could be
good for, er, lighting a kitchen.
Wouldn't fit in an R63 recessed holder but a simple E27 - E27 might fix
that. Would tend to collect muck on the top.
Not being recessed should keep the temperature down.

I'm waiting for the long-promised 200 lm/W lamps.

A new LED which can't be dimmed?

Having a perfectly good light and then dimming it has always seemed
pretty perverse to me. There is a large market out there which isn't
the slightest bit interested in dimmability. Or the real word if there
is one.

Really? Have you never fitted a bulb in a location and thought that on
occasion, a lower output might be nice?

I adjust the light level over our dining table depending on the activity
Im undertaking at it.

There is a large market out there which isn't
the slightest bit interested in dimmability.


Or hasnt grasped the potential of dimming. Its probably even more
pertinent in this age of low wattage bulbs where the actual light output is
far harder to guess pre-purchase for those of us used to thinking in
40/60/100W bulbs and may end up with a bulb with too high an output.

Well strangely enough some of us just have a different opinion from you.
Hard to accept, I know. I have never found a (commercially available,
domestic) light too bright for me. Really.

Then you are one of those dinosaurs that hasn’t even noticed
that some things like watching TV or ****ing work better at
different light levels than dismantling something which has
tiny pieces in it etc.

Does not have to be about "too bright" though does it... just a
reflection of the fact that some spaces are multiple use and different
lighting suits different uses. For example, the lighting in my office is
dimmable. Most of the time when working "full on" is just right. However
if I am watching a film / youtube at the computer then less bightness
can be preferable. A dimmer achieves that at pretty much zero extra effort.

Very logical to me. Nice and bright for when you need high light levels,
down to background or whatever when relaxing.

More fool you. There are plenty of situations where you don’t always
want the same light levels, and plenty where the only bulb you can
buy that is suitable mechanically is only available in one wattage,
so you may well want less than the full brightness in some situations.

Completely stupid to have that quite bright one not dimmable.

There is a large market out there which isn't
the slightest bit interested in dimmability.


Sure, but with something as unusual and as expensive
as that one, it makes no sense to not have it dimmable
for those that need to be able to dim it.
