LED garden Lighting?
Help, please... if you can..
I have a number of 20 watt small "spotlights" ....(halogen ... low voltage wiring) in my backyard. They shine on some trees and bushes. The bulbs go out all of the time. Yesterday, I was in Lowes and I saw some LED lights that were shaped similarly to what I presently own. They were about $15.00 each. A comparable halogen light costs about ten bucks each. The present light-bulbs cost about $4.00 each and they go out annually. ...I am thinking about converting over to the LEDS. The extra cost isn't that much, and I've heard that LEDs last much longer than incandescent or halogen bulbs. LEDs supposedly also use far less electricity. Less worry about which bulb is going to go out next... and the time to replace the blown bulbs...would more than make up any cost differential, anyhow. However the box contained NO useful information on wattage/ equivalent light output/ appropriate input voltage, etc. Of course, there wasn't anyone anywhere near in the store who might have been able to answer my question. Has anyone on this group used them? Can you provide any help on whether or not I can just substitute them for my present system? Any help appreciated. thanks RichG TX -- http://groups.msn.com/DigitalPhotographyClub http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners .. |
