![]() I haven't seen this type of bulb replicated in a halogen style or CCFL style bulb yet. Right now for the outside lighting fixtures (garage-3, front door-2, deck-door-1 and rear-door-1) I use a 60W candlelabra bulb which has a bit of a sparkle to it. I am still looking for reasonably priced CCFL's or a halogen bulb resembling the ones I already use which would dim without flickering for my outside 120V lighting (which is all powerline controlled). The "color" of these white bulbs is a bit different than the halogen lights but the time between changing the bulb makes up for the color. Kind of checking these out to see if they would function better for under the kitchen counter lighting versus incandescent or "pocket" halogen lights.īTW have switched my indirect halgoen pocket lights (I have them on shelves in the living room and dining room) to what was labeled as Xenon type bulbs and they are giving me much more time between changes versus the small 120V halogen bayonet style bulbs. The source of the light is easier to replace versus the entire CCFL "ring". Typically the "angel eyes" have used an older technology of fiber optic rings with a bright LED source. ![]() In the basement I set a couple of them up and they have been running 24/7 now for about 6 months still bright (12V) and along the same lines a couple of CCFL "angel eyes" setups on my cars. H++p://Ideally I would like to try something like this maybe in a dimmable 120 V AC LED for the mailbox.Īlso playing with "automotive/computer" tubes of CCFL lighting. But they are bright and actually blinding if you look at them directly. These do get a bit warm even with the heat sink base. I have been testing a couple of the following LED lights connected to my 12V landscaping lighting and they have been burning bright now for about 3 years. I did the base cement work (learned a bit about cement) and I had the brick done by "old country" brick layers which followed my drawings. Its a bit overengineered having 120V switched and non switched, 3 pairs of CAT5 cabling, RG6, 10 Guage landscaping wire and 2 pair 16 guage wire going to it. Changing the bulb is somewhat difficult because it is located under a piece of a limestone cap which I have to move (its large and heavy). I put glass bricks along the top edge of it for the light inside. ![]() I custom built this mailbox out of brick. I have changed it once in the last four years. I have one halogen bulb (Osram?) in my mailbox "infrastructure" built around 4 years ago. ![]()
