United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

I buy g10 leds from CPC, their cheapest are just that and the less cheap are pretty good.

dimming led's is difficult as the fight back and cause current spikes giving terrible flickering, I eventually found a suitable dimmer for poultry lights, I have found I can cut down the voltage therefore load and energy cost to 80% before the output of the lights falls by any real amount.

however led light doesnt seem to throw far and fill in shadows,maybe because many fitting dont seem to have a properly engineered reflective design. It took me three attempts to find g1o leds suitable for my bathroom light.

I cured this fault on the poultry lights by sticking a piece of white tape over the hot spot of the lense, causing light to rebound back and hit the reflector resulting in a better light spread, whilst reducing the over lit area infront of the lens At work

I bought 20 GU10 led from a seller on eBay after been recommended by character on disco3

Not one has failed of the lights I have replaced, the 4 on the landing are on from getting dark till we go to bed, likewise for the kitchen ones

£29.80 for 10 (non dimming ones)

Admittedly I bought the and then found out I had bought the wrong type, but put them to use elsewhere Laughing
