We have installed 8 of these in our own security lights; we were using 500 watt lamps in most of them, even though they were really more powerful than we needed, reducing them to the 24watt low energy version was quite a dramatic step.
I am pleased to say that the results are excellent.
Obviously they are not as powerful, but the light level is fine we can see perfectly well and need no more light than they provide and they fire up instantly on the PIRs to deter intruders.
We have reduced our energy consumption from 2800 watts to just 194 watts with no real loss of amenity other than greatly reducing the light spillage we were causing.
The running cost is reduced from 33 pence per hour to 2.1 pence per hour.
Also I know I won’t have to get the ladders out to replace failed lamps for a very long time.
This is an excellent product and I am very pleased that we are the first to have it available on the web.
They offer an excellent option for those genuinely interested in reducing their energy use.
Now we are happy with their performance they are available on the web site under security lights.
