LED Corn Cob Lights

Hi,

Just found this interesting video on YouTube if anyone wants to watch it, it highlights some issues with corn cob lamps, very well explained actually.

I need 8x 12w corn cob lamps, does anyone have any experience with these as i need to buy 8 of them and was going to try Lightrabbit first for these, I use them all the time, but never purchases a corn cob, well not one that I can't eat anyway.

common sence if you think about it, the led are not covered on ebay special lamps so there dangerous.

ledhut, lightrabbit, supermarkets etc sell them with a clear/cloudy cover over the led chips

Curious as to why you need the corn fittings?

The 80W ones a quite good, but I also would like to know why you need 12w ones?

Basically they ate to go inside these outside lights with a frosted front do cannot see the lamps, they are the biggest I can get to fit in the housing. I would go with a normal halogen but it will probably melt the casing as its plastic.

So going with the 12w led it's going to rather cool. Plus it will give around 100w to 120w of light out as the customer wants it bright as possible, I have shown the customer at night the fitting with an 8w led filament bulb and he wanted it bright, that's all there is to it really.

if he wants it bright offer to fit a 100w led flood.
