Long life rechargable batteries @ Lidl - Thursday

I see that they've also got some 3 watt LED-based spotlight bulbs with various fittings (looks like mixture of mains and 12v). Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what power of halogen spot would have an equivalent light output?

Hmm, missed those. 3000K - thats a nice warm colour [aiui?]. Will try some in place of some CFL 'spots' I've got in a confined space where I'm not happy to use conventional spots.

And another Q, are they dimmable? [Is that a word?]

I've been replacing CFL spots (Megaman) with LEDs from direct-led-supply on eBay. Very pleased so far. I'm using lamps with lots of LEDs. The R63

Did anyone spot the pic for the Honeywell Rondostat HR-20s just shows it bolted onto the side of a rad when it is just a TRV valve body actuator, it just doesn't work as they have pictured it.

FYI the sockets dont lose their memory when unplugged. An advantage over some others.

I don't know about the halogen equivalent, but the regular old incandescent equivalent would be about 30 watts.

I got two today, at 5.99 they're not actually muich of a bargain, but it does give a nice warm colour. 30W is pushing it, more like 25 maybe. Not dimmable btw.

The box says 25W it also says 60 lumens/watt.

They are very white (3000k) compared to a normal halogen but not much whiter than the daylight bulbs i have.

I looked in Lidl today and saw the bulbs you are referring to. It says on the packeging that they are equivalent to 25w of regular incandescent bulb. The usual rule of thumb for LEDs is that they glow about 10 times brighter than an incandescent bulb of the same wattage.

Yes, I agree, they are not much of a bargain. I bought mine on eBay and paid less, overall. I was careful to buy "warm white" as the "daylight white" seemed a tad too cold-looking for my purposes.

But you still made a good investment there. Not only are they around 10 times more efficient than incandescents, and twice as efficient as flourescents, they also last about 50 times longer than incandescent bulb! (Or so they claim!). I've replaced almost every bulb in my house with LEDs now.
