Thanks
Tim,
Fitting 18 Leds in a halogen fitting will not be easy. And it's
still
just 20W equivalent.
But I
will not ditch idea yet. I think that they are constantly developing
stronger
and stronger leds.
Do you
have an idea how Candelas transform into lumens?
I
have
som light bulbs at home which are rated in lumens. What's mesured in Lumens
and
what in Candelas?
Cheers,
Nik
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.
I
found this url while browsing for 5
mins,

the
'moonglow' and 'comet' are the type of thing I'm after (except at $30
cost too much!)

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.
