We're interested in getting LED lights as well. Re: Love our LED lights in our house 4Feb 29, 2012 12:08 am @The Vans: With most 12v LED down lights they use a driver (similar to the transformer that 12v halogens use) with which you can use a dimmer. Obviously just check with the manufacturer, but mostly the answer is yes. @Pete_n_Pet: We did loads of research and found various concerns about light quality, bulb life, etc. and had to sift through numerous marketing angles. In the end we decided to go with the D900 downlights from Bright Green. Be warned they are pricy, but do come with a 5 year guarantee and the bulb is rated for 50,000 hours. They can be dimmed by a Clipsal Univeral Dimmer. Here's a link: http://brightgreen.net.au/products/d900-curve/ We've found some good references from people that have actually used these for couple of years now and figured we'll go with them then. YMMV. Hope that helps Re: Love our LED lights in our house 5Feb 29, 2012 11:52 am Are you able to provide pics? We are considering doing LEDs once we move in and figure out where we need additional light. Thanks!

And hope they have stockists in our area (Newcastle/Hunter Valley) Re: Love our LED lights in our house 9Feb 29, 2012 5:58 pm I've found a local supplier in Brisbane, but before that I was going to get them from either one of these two online suppliers:
There is also a link on the Brightgreen website to search for stockists in your area, so you could give that a try too. So I'm just reading up on this ecosystem of lights. I'm planning on putting deck lights along the outside edge of a large deck. Will need about 3 packs (18 lights) plus… 0 23227 |
