light (LED) Moment!
Lights on… but no one home JV!
These puns are rather dull to be honest. Could someone shed some light on better puns?
Thanks for your illuminating comment
Watt?
They my be dull, but only because he was in a rush to be in the spotlight.
jv's party is lit
I'd rather di(ode) than listen to another one of these puns
You clearly lack capacity
Not another dull offer. This is more current and more brighter offer.
Weird I didn't think Bunnings had sales or discounts on regular lines.
They will be price matching someone (-5c)..
Pretty sure it's Aldi. Screw Bunnings and their price matching. Rather give my $$ to the retailer that offered the great price in the first place
Yep - both Bunnings and Coles have an LED sale in the week Aldi has their LED specials.
It's good for the consumer and a good way to screw over Aldi's sale, but they'll double the prices again when its over.
@RedHab: Yes, but the Coles sale is on Mirabella, which are not really that good.
Funny this special didn't even seem to be in their catalog.
@RedHab: Bunnings never have sales, they price match other stores and you find that out when you go to their stores.
Aldi not showing LEDs for this Sat/Wed…
Thats fine if they have stock. Many supermarkets put a single carton of 10 or whatever for each light so there is no stock.
Bunnings usually have a lot more stock on their much larger shelving.
How can you tell it's the discounted price?
Hipsters really know their LEDs.
TA has had a 'light bulb moment'! He is certainly heterogeneous!
He is certainly heterogeneous!
Of course he's hetero, how else do you think he remains tight?
I notice that none of the recent LED globe sales have included LED filament globes.
I see them most in hipster cafes, wannabe hipster cafes, and pretentious cafes - why discount them when money and value is meaningless to these groups of people? :P
The benefit of the filament globes are that they are less directional. The standard LED globes still output most of the light downwards which is less useful if you are putting them into an oyster light fitting with the globe sideways.
Yeah, that's a reasonable viewpoint, but what about the fact that they have a much reduced light output? Some of those filament LED globes only produce 100 lumens? They aren't really for illuminating a room, they are for decoration
I'm mainly referring to the Philips ones which are now up to 800 lumens although I'm waiting for brighter ones.
@placard: The LED filament globes are minimum 400 lumens from what I've seen. I often try to buy the dimmest ones I can find and the lowest I've seen in stores so far is 4 watt (~400 lumens).
Okay I see the range is larger than I thought, with 2 Watt versions.
But whether a filament globe suits everyone's needs or not just observing that the recent discounting is applying to a particular design of LED globe. Wonder if they're trying to clear the stocks to pave the way for different types of LED globe designs?
Those are Incadescent filament globes, LED "filament" globes are a different beast entirely.
What's a good price?
I popped into Bunnings this evening and they had the basic Click brand 400 lumen (if you believe it) screw and bayonet LED filament globes for $4.25 each.I haven't tested that brand but I can vouch for the Mirabella ones that Coles sell (bought two for $10 each a couple of years ago), the colour rendition is pretty good.
I got an Aldi equivalent for about $6 but the tint was yellow and not pleasing to the eye.
The price is good on the Click but could be a gamble on the colour rendition.
Sadly 13watt globes aren't on sale.
Dim lighting seems to make my eyesight worse :|
Still, who wants to pay full price to prolong their eyesight…
Go to Aldi they have 13W
Thanks for the tip, my local Aldi had 17W LED globes!
Probably the best led light bulbs you can but in Australia. Osram is one of the biggest and advanced led manufacturers in the world only just behind Cree. 10.5w for 1130 lumens is really good for a light bulb.
I suggest IKEA's premium range of LED light bulbs is better than OSRAM, simply because the CRI is over 90 while OSRAM, Philips, and other manufacturers still make 80 products. Also IKEA's LEDs are 25k hour lifespan.
If however you need bayonet LEDs, or hate 2700K light, IKEA is no good.
Higher CRI will mean less light output for the same wattage. I don't think high CRI is a necessity. 80+ CRI is fine.
It is if you need to defuse a bomb and all the wires are red and orange. I hate when that happens
@Tuba: I am yet to see it with my own eyes lol. I have from low CRI to 90+ Nichia LEDs but i can not tell the difference at least between 80-90 CRI.
Understandably if you use a really white tint or a fake LED like a lattice bright you will be bale to tell the difference.
My favorite LEDs right now would be a 4500k XPG2 its only 80+ CRI but its better then my 90+ Nichia LEDs at colour rendering.
It was mostly tongue in cheek… I assumed the "defusing bombs" would make it clear. Those extra 10 CRI points might make a difference if youre right into colouring in, and have a full set of Derwents too.
@Tuba: In all fairness if you where to defuse a bomb you probably would want the best of the best lol.
I built a torch 1200m throw and last night i used it. Its good but i can even see that damn far at night lol no use to me! Some people are a bit weird when it comes to lights. They think they need what they don't really need.
The Colour temperature is horrid tho. 6500K is basically blue. Gimme some of that lovely 4000K stuff please.
6500k is still white i think 8000k is blue. The higher tints are always good for higher output and extra glare lol.
I was wondering why the light looked weird. "glare" might be a good description. I find myself squinting even though its not excessively bright. Kind of like how you squint at a blacklight even though it is dim.
You light up my life, Tightarse.
Thank you TA, I spent $100 on globes on Monday. Will return and purchase these instead!
You know you shouldn't be buying anything without checking with Tightarse first?
Yes, lesson learnt.
Yes Osram are superior to Mirabella
Are the gu10 downlights any good?
What's with dad jokes guys?
I'm surprised no one's been LED down the path to use this pun yet…
How do LEDs compare in brightness (luminiscence ?) compared to CFLs ? Say if I am looking to replace a 16W CFL, should I be shopping for a 16W LED ? I cannot find a 15 or a 16 W LED in bunnings :(
13 or so would do you fine. The big benefit is you get light when you turn the switch, not in 10 minutes. That and the light is much nicer IMO.
Thank you
Don't look at the wattage, look at the light output figure. Some of the "new" LED are approaching twice the light output per watt of CFL. At 15 to 16W CFL should have LED equivalent. Even all the way to 20/24 Watt CFL. Beyond that the options are thin on the ground or very expensive.
Thank you
Check the lumens in CFL bulb and buy comparable for LED. LED are power savers, so you might end up with brighter LED bulb even at 11 w.
Thank you
Most CFLs have a lumen figure printed somewhere on the base. Pretty sure the high wattage CFLs I replaced ended up having less lm output than the 9.5W LEDs I replaced them with.
Thank you
They print Lumens on the boxes these days, stay away from anything which wont come clean on that value.
Wattage is electricity cost, Lumens is light. Then there is warm/cool etc. Other details have to be sourced from review sites.Flouros do have a warmup time though, they dont produce full brightness until they have been on for a fair while. LED is instant max brightness.
All tend to lose brightness over time."Fair while" is a bit of an exaggeration. The older ones pretty bad, but the newer ones not too long.
Any rooms where I might only go for a short moment say the kitchen or toilet at night I have small motion sensor lights that do the job without having to find the switch; look ma no hands!
With CFL the longer they take to turn on and the longer they take to warm up the better for longevity.
Annoying but true…
Thankfully LEDs are cost effective replacements now that they go on 50% sale so frequently.
How did you set up motion sensor lights in the kitchen or the bathroom ? Are those the ones you get at Bunnings ? Or ?
Any reviews please ? I am looking to do the same.@AussieB: haha nothing as grand or fancy as I suspect you're thinking of - just those very simple motion sensor handful of LED lights, a couple solar rechargeable. Put one on the bottom shelf in the bathroom, one tucked in the corner of the stair case, one on the window sill in the kitchen, etc. Don't need many LEDs to light up the toilet or the stair case steps.
All basic generic commercial stuff, like $5 to $10 each.
e.g. https://tinyurl.com/mzybwyaThe example picture one above is my favourite of the bunch; only has ~300mA battery built in but for us lasts at least a couple of weeks of "night time stair traffic", and unlike other ones has a low threshold for not turning on due to ambient light.
I will say though if you want to build/implement your own say wardrobe lighting and can use LED strips, it's far cheaper to DIY one then getting prebuilt from Bunnings, IKEA, etc.
Thank you
I read "1/2 Price Orgasm".
Disappointed when I clicked on to this deal.
Has anyone used dimmable led downlights on an existing dimmable hologen downlight switch setup?
Have tried at home and the whole thing flickers unless I leave at least one halogen globe on the circuit.
Interesting, I didn't think it would even work with one halogen in.
I thought dimmers on LED downlights didn't work at all or were at worst dangerous.
They say they are dimmable on package, whether you need a more sophisticated light circuit, I do not know.
Well I bought 1. Wasnt due for a replacement yet on my old school bedroom globe but I guess it's a bargain. Just gotta wait 5 yrs or so until the old globe blows and then I can use my new led globe lol.
I will report back how it goes lolWould anyone recommend replacing the 100w light globe found in the IXL Tastic with LED globe? I think the socket is R63.
Depends if that's the one that is deliberately high power as the heater function
I only want to replace the centre light globe and not the heating globes. Quick search on Bunnings came up with the philips globe and quite pricey. I'm guessing Osram don't make these R80 LED globes.
https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-9w-r80-r80-led-reflector…
Great price but I prefer the Philips ones as the warm whites are 3000k instead of 2700k like the OSRAM.
Plenty left at Browns Plains QLD as of 6pm today.
Is there alot of difference between OSRAM and the EBAY LEDs from China for $1.5 each?
enlightening…
