On a slightly different tack, I'm impressed by the CFL floodlight from Aldi that I fitted for a neighbour. It's a good wash of white light without excessive glare and comes on immediately even in the winter. IIRC it's about 20 - 22W and the lamp isn't replacable. I don't know if bigger versions are available. Our local street lights have been replaced with CFLs and, along with the new luminaires, give a good spread of light without being dazzling.
I've always found their parking bays too narrow for the Bentley.
Not a lot of use when fed from a locked building with the isolator inside¬!
AWEM
My local Aldi car park often looks like a forecourt for an up-market Chelsea Tractor dealership.
For those of use with real cars, my local has introduced double size parking bays (for mothers with prams), and if they are full use the disabled bays.
Not LEDs but that's why I bought these:
The components clip together and the final fixing screws are recessed. I'd previously used B&Q quartz halogen floods that had to be replaced when the lamp went because the screw had rusted. Mind you they only cost £10.
Are the good ones that cheap? A friend of mine has a canel boat and was looking for screws and they cost a fortune as they are marine grade SS. The saem goes for teh yatch varnish he's been using so muvh more expensive than the usual stuff.
Marine grade is, I assume, A4; A2 should be OK for freshwater use. I've used A2 on bikes for decades and roads tend to be a bit saltier than canals.
The problem there is he must have mentioned the word 'boat' when buying, that is a code word to all sellers to at least double, if not tripple the price of their goods,
When i had a motorhome, i called in at a boat chandlers on the canal side once, just to see what they sold, they had a lot of exactly the same things motorhomes use (fiamma range of roof vents and fans, whale water pumps and hose/fittings etc)
i thought the motorhome prices were bad, but blimey, almost double for the exact same water pump i had in my motorhome,
