LED lighting

I'd been looking for an LED option that didn't require a false ceiling or making holes in my existing ceiling and this did the trick perfectly.

We got   a couple for the lounge.  Richard fitted them (they're not that easy to fix, some people will be happy with DIY, some will want an electrician)



We liked the lounge ones enormously.  Really bright light, with good colour balance.  We no longer need to use an extra lamp when gaming or knitting.

So, we bought a slightly smaller pair for the hall and landing.   It won't be long before we do the bedrooms as well. They suddenly look really dingy when coming from a well-lit landing.

We got one for my mother-in-law to replace her ancient lounge light.  She was delighted.  Much brighter (which was her main aim), but also a lot less electricity).

Our cleaning lady liked ours so much that she promptly got several as well!

Inside, they look a bit like a printed circuit board.  There's no glass involved at all.

Curiousity: why not simply replace all existing bulbs with LEDs? I've (finally) finished doing that around the house, even swapped out working CFLs where possible, and it's so much nicer.

Because I like my light to come from above. LED 'bulbs' don't have the brightness I need. The new fittings replace what were originally (about a decade or more ago) 150W incandescents.

LED bulbs are fine for wall lights, etc, but this works out a lot cheaper overall.
