RE: lens's / holders / whatever you may call them

Hi Nik,

 

I read on one of the (many) LED sites that 18 LEDs are equivalent to a 20W halogen. It was all very vague since it didn't state the type of LEDs, their mcd rating, viewing angle etc, all of which will make a difference in how the light is "delivered" from the fitting.

 

I'll let you know if we come up with anything worth "publishing" ;-)

 

Cheers,

 

Tim H.

Please, let me know if any of your ideas materialize. I would like to buy a white LED array (10 leds) and put it in LV halogen fitting, but I am not sure if they can generate enough light.

If you make anything like that let me know if it can be compared to normal halogen bulb.

Cheers,

Nik

A mate & I have been talking about this for a little while. One idea we liked was taking the surround from a mains or LV halogen fitting (the bit that fits into the ceiling) and replacing the normal bulb with a circular piece of plexiglass, drilled with a number of holes to suit the OD of the LEDs. There's a number of other options / variations, such as fitting frosted (plexi)glass in front of the LED array, making your own reflectors, cannibalising an old halogen bulb assy. and substituting the bulb-part with LEDs.

 

Alternatively, we've considered simply replacing the capsule bulb in the regular under-cabinet light fittings since this includes a reflector.

 

As for other online ideas try googling (google.com) with LED lighting / lamps / lights etc. - that should keep you busy for a while ;-)

 

Cheers,

 

Tim H.

As some of you, like myself have gone and put our names down for the bulk-buy LED's...

 

I'm a little unsure of mounting these, the purpose of me using these is to go on the edge of the stairs, to illuminate every other step. The idea of having some standard bezels is very un-attractive.

 

What I'm after is some idea's / url's / images / thoughts of what could be a suitable, and of course, aesthetically pleasing devices ! I know some of you have bought these for use in the garden, so any idea's on those would be great too (I've ordered 30 in total .. so they need using !)

 

Ta,

Jonathan.
