Still Using Halogen Lamps? Are You Mad?
Sure, it's going to cost you six times what you normally expect to pay in order to buy an LED retrofit GU10 (or 12v MR16 if low voltage floats your boat), but the longer you hold out on biting the bullet the more it just keeps on costing you.
On the subject of 12v lighting, you *can* replace existing 12v MR16 halogen lamps with LED versions but you will almost certainly have to additionally replace your low voltage transformers with LED drivers (basically better quality constant voltage, ... A Good Straightforward Guide To LED Grow Lights
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have come a long way from their humble origins as indicator lamps found in electronic equipment display panels. These days they pop up all over the place: in LED garden lights, replacements for halogen lamps in conventional 12v lighting circuits and as LED home lighting in general. It was only a matter of time before LED technology staked out yet more territory in areas such as, for example, stage lighting and recently of course, grow lights.
Like many other early applications of LED technology, the first LED grow lights struggled to attain sufficiently high levels of light, reliant as they were on ... Are Solar Garden Lights Any Good?
Also, if you have solar deck lights for example, you'll have to first pry them out of the hole they're tightly slotted into.
The issue of reliability and robustness is where solar garden lighting has something of a poor reputation. Unlike a normal 12v lighting system that uses very simple technology and components (i.e. basically two wires conducting a current and a light bulb), solar lights contain reasonably complex electronics which significantly increases the possible points ... Introducing LED Kitchen Lighting
As mentioned above, LEDs can provide zero-heat under cabinet lights to throw light onto worktops below. These come in the form of recessed and surface mount miniature spots and also as LED strip lights. As with all LED applications, these are low voltage 12v lights that have extremely low energy consumption, exhibit zero UV/IR radiation or heat and are thus inherently safe even in a demanding environment such as a kitchen.
LED strip lights are ideal for kitchen lighting. These come in ... Replacing Halogen Lamps With LED Spotlights
e. very bright and directional.
Replacement options commonly include GU10 LED bulbs for mains voltage, MR16 LED for 12v lighting and the new GU24 base introduced for low power consumption light bulbs (this was originally intended to delineate CFL bulbs before LED technology started parking its tanks on the low energy lighting lawn).
Light bulbs can be categorized a number of different ways:
technology ...
