I live in the UK but really admire some of the interior lighting in Spanish houses etc. In particular nice bright LED panels often found on kitchen ceilings. Not marvellous aesthetically, but they give a really useful, bright light. I can't seem to find anything resembling that online here...

Hi all,
I've wired up 10 flourescent lights in a parallel circuit for a light box as in the picture. Each bulb is 36w and 3250 lumens. The lights are connected to a switch and a plug with a 3a fuse using 1.5mm round cable. When I turn the lights on they don't seem anywhere near 32500 lumens...

Hello. Can anyone tell me how to run an ultra bright, even car headlamp if possible, off a battery source? Battery supply needs to be as small as possible, small enough to fit inside an item about the size of a cigar tube and the bulb needs to be no wider than about 10mm. Any ideas?

I want to replace an old florescent batten light in a kitchen with two white glass surfice lights. To get the same level of brigtness as the old florescent what type of bulbs and watts should the new lights be.

Thanks
