Just been reading up on those jcc units and knightbridge lights . Both seem a good light. Think the jcc wins it mind?
Thanks for input so far on this, appreciated all
Ok, any decent make? Spec of most i have searched on internet are 4100 lumens max for single. Higher outputs need a double fitting and prices rise. Which is why most garages still use flourecents as initial out lay puts alot of people off.
From what i can find i need to fit a double 6feet...
Like the sound of them .
As will be replacing these units which are single flourecent 6300 lumens so need some thing on par as them.
Guess they are middle cable entry same design mounting surface area as standard flourecents?
The lights are to go in a garage that is 35 long by 22 feet wide
Just checked the flourecent tubes in the garage they are Philips t80 70 watt 6300 lumens . So need replacement equivalent
Looking at whats out there at the minute I got it seems two options .
Fit 6feet single led battens to replace my exsisting 4 none faulty flourecent versions but will only have a maximum lumens of 3150 so wont be as bright as standard flourecents, or fit double 5 feet led versions and lumens...
Hi. Yes have seen the lap type in screwfix and agree rear entry point for wiring connections is no good.
I just want a simple straight swap over type where mounting holes are in more or less the same place as original flourecent type i have.
Knightbridge ones for sale at TLC ok?
If they do trip the rcd then it will be just my luck, as standard pendants dont . Worse case that, but i would of up graded my standard light fittings any way before getting a electrician in.
Hi all .i am after some thoughts on what you regard as good quality and reliable makes of led battens for a garage. I want 6 feet led battens that give out the same light output or more as standard flourecent unit.
Have seen some on ebay buy quality looks cheap and nasty.
Any good quality...
whats the best make on the market at the minute for 6 feet led battens for quality and reliability ? I post thus question on a new thread as well. As worse case scenario here for me is i up date these flourecents to led specification and the fault is still there .but i be saving and improving...
thanks for the replies so far. yes lol am in redcar . near race course lol
have replaced the switch at front of garage . i check loose connections on the two light fittings.
any good sparkeys in this area ??
got to be a fault on the two light flourecents ?? evidence seems to be going that way...

just annoying thats all , but your comments are fair enough . seems to be a totaly agreement that the flourecents are old school and i have been unfortunate . might as well just change the whole units to led . any one recommend a good quality make as heard they are some cheap rubbish ones out...
i
t only happens when switching one or both of them off ........shouldnt it happend when switching them on? why doesnt it do it with the other four light fittings when i have them all on and switch them off??
no, strangely enough i did it 10 years ago , but now since you are not allowed to do most domestic home electrics yourself i had to pay a qualified part P 17th edition sparkey to do the job . the irony of paying a specialist ,and having it tested and needed to keep the installation certificate...
agree , but I was wanting to fix it myself however it is really annoying its looking like i am going to have to get some one in as doesnt sound like a easy fix. its also annoying that my parents garage has the same kind of set up but has a old style 10 way unit in the garage and there is no...

the thing is my parents garage has the same set up but has a old style plastic 10 way consumer unit in the garage with exactlty the same set up with lights etc and there is no issues with the rcd tripping out
