popped in poundland over lunch time to grab a bottle of something to drink and a snack.
saw these 'downlights' on the display... turns out poundland have gone into downlights... I started to get all excited thinking of the mark up if i could fit these on a forthcoming job instead of the £12 ones...
Apart from the fact they dont come with the lamps, dont appear to come in any colour other than brass - despite the box showing white.. and you also need a transformer as they are 12v.... they are good value!
But all is not lost as at least according to the packaging they are fire rated!
I cant help but feel they are taking the proverbial with having these on the shelf... i am just waiting until a customer rings asking me to fit them or asking why they dont work after a diy attempt... I can then laugh a lot after i hang up of course....
