Just fill it with expanding foam :)

That isn’t straight! Arrrgh

I’d like some of what wordnumb is smoking.

Ok!

Are the lamps connected to a dimmer?

OK so I suggest trying a Philips or Osram equivalent. I would be very confident that it will last a long time in a well-ventilated lamp :)

Hey.

Is it a GU10 then? I can’t quite understand from this talk of table lamps :)

If it’s a GU10 in a recessed fitting then I would think you’d be better staying at a lower wattage. If it’s in a table lamp, so relatively well ventilated then a good quality bulb should last a long time there, no excuses. It’s not that a higher power LED lamp should last for a shorter time, only that relatively higher power lamps generate more heat, so how the lamp is installed and ventilated is more important.

Most other types of lamp should also be designed for free air operation, so again, unless they’re crammed in a tiny space I don’t think you have a problematic installation environment.

PS @ Edukator, sorry I didn’t mean to sound like a dick.

OK so this time I quit by mistake. However: it should be possible to drive as far as you would like at that speed I think! Maybe someone else will set a driving record?

As is my way I missed almost everything until the episode where Rob tried to kidnap the kid and they had a fight on the rain and Rob gave in. She seems to have finally defeated him!

I figured he’s had enough, admitted to himself that she was right…. Was this a total reversal in character or did we know it was coming?

Well, this was predictable.

OKOKOKOK – my MK1 Blue Pig looks like shit.

Anyone tried stripping one? Tempting! ! ¬.¬

I saw this and thought of this thread:

“VBulletin, very popular forum software, has a feature called “Global ignore” that does what you describe. I used to run a large well-moderated professional discussion forum and if we got a jerk in the rolls we would first warn him, then either put him on global ignore or “miserable users”, which is hilarious. It would take people sometimes months to realize they were being muted, sometimes they never did figure it out.

Miserable users was pretty funny, if you decided the person had to go but was big enough of an asshole you wanted to still have some fun, you would turn this on. It would:

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the “server busy” message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

After that you just waited for them to get frustrated and leave of their own accord. Passive-Aggressive Nirvana!”

I’m aware of the discussions about blue light from LEDs, but I think the risk is hugely exaggerated…. Also, any decent LEDs are much warmer than old style whites.

Dimming LED’s is a PITA. Many dimmers expect a substantial minimum load, which LEDs don’t present [eg 150-500w dimmer won’t like 5x15w LEDs] then there’s also the issue of dimmer type compatibility. In many cases dimming is achieved by clipping the start or the end of the mains sinewave, LEDs that are dimmable may expect trailing edge and you may perhaps have a leading edge dimmer…. or the other way around.

I am a bit pressed for time, so here’s a DUTCH page for LED dimmers, try using Google Translate or something to read the site and get a feel for the dimmers they’re using.

I strongly suggest lower power GU10’s, if you buy a modern high-quality GU10 replacement you may find you hit your required light output at a lower wattage due to increases in LED efficiency.

NB also google “LED lighting CRI” – if you need colour accuracy in that room.

Reflected light from LEDs is OK but directly in your eyes it could cause damage long term.

yawat?

Pretty sure there’s UV filtering in the phospor. Either way, it’s that fact it’s really really sodding bright that’s likely to be the problem, not some other property of LED light.

15w GU10?! Yes, you’ll struggle to keep that cool. I was imagining <5w TBH.

What wattage are you after?

I got as far as Damprichard [!] before someone mistakenly quit it :/

Continuing now…..

Well, seeing as you asked, try Philips or OSRAM.

Try a decent brand :P
