Re: Cheap Brick Lights at CPC

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very nice Frank :-))
That's the other style I've been looking for. One of the DIY stores
over here has cast aluminium housings with LEDs already mounted
inside, but the light output looks a bit wimpy, and they're all
single-colour (no RGB colour fade sequences yet...).

How much light do Gerry's boards/LEDs give off? Enough to light up a
garden feature (statue, tree etc.) or only enough for a general
"glow"?

Cheers,

Tim.
