Lidl have some LED downlighters on offer on 28 January

look to be an LED version of some 4 x 20W halogen bars I got from Aldi a couple of years ago which get a little hot if left on for more than a short time.



Would the LEDs run cooler?


Yes, LEDs run virtually cold. But whether they're any good at actually providing light or not is another matter. By the way, we can't see anything via the link - it's a recurring problem here, Aldi's links are non-transferrable.

Cheers!

Much, much cooler - cold, or almost cold. If you check the actual wattage, they use very much less.

Link worked fine for me - I just had to enter a postcode for the aldi site could work out where my closest store was.

Not only cool, but much less light, and worse of all the colour/ quality of the light is awful
