    Not at the last minute in Dalby you can't :-)

    I'm going to go have a look at a lighting shop this weekend in Brisbane if I have the time.

    I run dual tubes in each fitting, a 40cm round and a slightly smaller one. If you want bright light get tri phospheros tubes. Jim

    I have done a few led retrofits to the standard 'low voltage down light' that takes a 12v diachronic globe
    Some people want to keep the original fitting so I use a g10 9watt 240v led globe (built in driver) and a g10 fly lead
    No transformer, decent light easy to connect
    I do prefer complete led fittings
    Am using them now in downlights, emergency spitfires, emergency flouro lights
    Victoria now has a wiring rule that when recessed lighting is installed in an accessible roofs pace a suitable sign must be affixed to the access (manhole)
    I do a LOT of small lighting installs and spend more time on paperwork stuff than some simple installs. Most people are happy to pay

    I was surprised at how long they last and am considering converting others that are currently running off transformers to run directly off the battery - then I'll choose an appropriate size solar panel and be independant of the grid as far as lighting goes.
    I've been doing the same for about 2 years now. Fantastic!
    one LED globe in the kitchen has been on continually for nearly 3 years.
