Led lighting

[johnspeehs]

Just had a cattle shed fitted out with 5ft Led lights, they are the dogs do dah's. I was going to use 5ft double fluorescents but my electrician recommended these. Completely sealed and if they give up you replace the whole unit but they are rated for 30,000 + burning hrs so hopefully wont need to replace to many. The level of light from them is far superior to the fluorescents in the shed beside it, its like daylight and they are only 44watt so cheap to run. Cost ways they were ok £25 each.

They sound cheap, a complete fluorescent fitting would be around 30 -40 quid

Yes the last 5ft doubles we got were £35, the Leds were on a black Friday sale deal but the guy said if I was buying 10 or more he could do them for the same price anytime. I saw the exact same ones on donedealie @ £55.00

LEDs have come on leaps and bounds, anybody fitting high wattage lights need they heads reads or a better electrician

I've been paying £20 for high frequency twin fluorescent battens in low volume including tubes. The last couple of years have seen LEDs mature - especially in the linear/batten format, but I have still to find a unit that doesn't send my eyes funny or push me towards migraines. I can just about cope with domestic bulbs being LED where I can mix bulbs from different manufacturers to improve colour spread etc. Again, floodlights have improved somewhat, although they still need a bit of planning to minimise glare.

20 quid for ip65 fittings?

I bought a pair of double tube equivalent leds for £39. They look like singles but have double the number of leds.
Why buy tubes.

Sorry, I missed the bit about sealed, the last lot of IP65 was £25 for 10+ units. There are online suppliers with units at £23 excluding lamps.

Got a link to them?

This is the box, my apologies they are 55 watt not 44

I looked on the tinternet and I see you can get them with an emergency feature where they will burn for 3 hrs without power, battery unit inside them, £70 each though.

I've stopped thinking in watts for LED stuff Lumens is the way forward. The actual light emitted is a better way to hold these in your mind.

Our Samsung Led Strip lights put tens times a much light for the same wattage incandescent bulb, or 90% saving on power for same lighting level, with +50,000 hour life expectancy
see attached
we can calculate a lighting plan in which we can tell you the minimum number of lights and model to meet your need..
