Subject: [ukha_d] Square LED's at IKEA


Went to Ikea last night - and they have some square and circular LED wall
lights. No square ones in stock (at Wembley - dont know about the other
stores) but they did have the larger round ones in. So I didnt get any :-(

There's a pic and a small mp4 here -

Square LEDs were a tenner each, round ones (not shown) are £17 each.

The DC input is at the bottom (would have to move that so no wires showing
of course !) and there is a switch at the top - either off, on (static) or
on (led's 'move') - see video. Quality of photo and video not brilliant -
was taken on the Exec PDA :-)

Might be able to wire in the switch into a Comfort relay - so that mebe
static is a NC connection, and moving is a NO connection ? I'm assuming a
changover style relay is needed - so not sure if this would work ?
