Light coming on very slowly

[Steve Firth]

The f*ck there isn't.

Is there a special school one goes to in order to become a tedious prick? And what was your time there like?

[Lieutenant Scott]

You are very ignorant of the latest developments.

Here's what happens when I put a 50W halogen on one spot fitting and an LED on the other:

can look at a 50W halogen, but if I look at the LED I can't see a bloody thing for ages. The light is much whiter too, they shine on a workbench below and I can see much more clearly when soldering etc.

[John Rumm]

Concentrate half the light over a quarter of the area, and it will look brighter.

Fuck off back to your knitting group.

[ARWadsworth]

Did your teacher take the photo?

[Lieutenant Scott]

So you admit you don't have experience of them then? Go and buy one and try it, then come back and admit how stupid and ignorant you've been. Just because you bought some cheap crap LEDs years ago doesn't mean they are all the same. It would be like saying diesel cars aren't fast.

[ARWadsworth]

Did you miss the post that said that I had fitted over 2000 of them?

[polygonum]

What excellent advice.

[Lieutenant Scott]

You obviously bought the wrong ones. There are thousands of models out and 99% of them suck.

[ARWadsworth]

The 99% that suck are the sort of models I want.

But two glorious bright sunny days if short have perked me up no end. B-)

Hah, I can sleep(*) almost anywhere, broad day light, noisey, doesn't matter provided it's reasonably comfortable.

(*) Well nap really 20 mins to an hour, rather than the solid 7 hours of a night in bed.
