Hi all
Have any of you ever dealt with a LED replacement bulb for the metal halide (brightest possible with the bright white light). If you have are they any good and what company did you purchase them from?
Thankyou

Hi all,
I'm after some ideas to rig up some kind of alarm when a gate is opened at the end of a drive. I've missed a couple of deliveries now when I've been down one end of the garden and the van driver can't get an answer from the house, there's also the security aspect of not knowing when...

Hi All,

Hi all,

Hey guys, I am just about to buy 80 LED lamps, I have been given a good price on 4 watt Kosnic, as I have never used this make before I was hoping someone could tell me if they are any good, or should I run a mile.
Cheers
