Outside Light

Not a customer though, it's a mate with not a lot of money. As for cost of replacements, you'd have to replace 10 or 15 lamps in order to get your money back.

I've had customers say they only last 6 months, it's the doesn't natter if rusts a little as you don't need to change lamps, also the energy saving over 5 years alone will be the difference, I wasn't saying don't, just I feel it's a lot better that's all

Perhaps. To add, they've just moved in to rented accommodation, that is quite frankly disgusting. I think they'll be there a year and then onwards and upwards so don't think they are bothered about a 10 year plan etc. Just need something to get the bike in and out the yard with. Thanks for all advice though, I do take everyone's opinions on board.

Fair enough, but I didn't know that

I'm not convinced a single light will save you 30 quid in energy over 5 years - happy to be proved otherwise though. We're talking about a light that might be on for a total of 10 minutes per day mind - not 5 or 6 hours. But yes, very good point about rusting and not having a lamp to change - witnessed that first hand more than once with halogen. Pain in the backside

I have a dog , so comes on for 10 min intervals like 5 times a night,

I like them also as they are less harsh on the eye as I use the daylight ones like most of them now.

But surely this is a case of horses for courses, and LED isn't automatically the correct answer in every case?

I paid nowt for my led outside light because it came off a job where they were being replaced (but perfectly fine). The cool white light makes you feel even colder tho when you go out for a cheeky ciggy

So this place must be sheltered from high winds, wildlife including cats, foxes, badgers, bears etc, well alright may be not bears but you get my point.

99% of the time I choose warm white LEDs [around 2500-3000k] whether for interior downlighting or external floods. I know it isn't as efficient in terms of lumens per circuit watt and all that but IMO the light emitted is more pleasant .

It's a bloody back yard, 20 foot squared, enclosed with an 8 foot wall. I highly doubt David Attenborough is gonna be camped out there narrating.

In that case a little 60w polycarb bulkhead with a PIR would do the trick.

Chill man, don't get excited, I didn't kill anyone.

I'm beginning to wonder if a couple candles would be best now.

gas lamps with PIRs is the way forward . someone's got to justify all this fracking of the countryside.

And you can find a use from the residue from your 'Old Peculular'
