Thanks for that, are the ones @ work the 9.5W they say it's supposed to be equivalent to 90W and i used to use 60W in the anglepoise. Anyway glad for the feedback.

Not sure to be honest but it is the cold light.
I bought a load of Halogen Downlighters for the house that i won't be using so i might just put a transformer in line and use them till i run out of stock.
Was even thinking of cycle lights as they are powerfull enough.
Thanks for your comments.

I've found that the LED lights which tend towards blue (cold) and yellow (warm) are fine for seeing where furniture is in the house but aren't good for reading or detail work, the daylight white are the only ones which give me a colour balance which works,
Regards,
Nick

Thanks Clive, I had wondered what lights some cyclists were using - very blindingly bright and shining straight ahead rather than down towards the road in front. A couple of times I had thought that it was a motorcyclist who had forgotten to dip!!! They look great for a worklight, I shall buy a couple and may even look to see if practicle to use on my boat to help mooring. G.

Hi Clive
Nice find many thanks, COB same as my task light and considerably cheaper, just shown them to a M8 and will get him a couple to try on his LE.

I run mine from the 24V in the control box. But a 24V PS from aliexpress http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DR-45...e-bee6d63761d7 works well

++1. I bought a pair of these on Clive's recommendation - they look good, they're easy to mount and very bright indeed..!

Hi Guys
The LED lights arrived yesterday, just need a little more information please.
I would like to extend the wires coming from the unit with some decent quality cable.
What size do i need ?
the light has 3 core cable red/black/white i assume red is positive and black negative, is the white core an earth ?
what would be the best way to connect the new cable/ solder the new and shrink sleeve or go into the unit and solder to the board.
Thanks in advance
Mike
