lumicycle bulbs
Ikea sold me MR11 20W 38deg bulbs ... 2 for £1.99. (I think).
Are they good replacements? I think the 38deg is probably a bit wide? Any techie feedback? Thanks |

Might be good for low-speed technical off-roading or getting you well-noticed on-road, or making the tea, but not for much else. I find 5, 12 and 20W spots are best for seeing where you're going on unlit roads. Do Ikea have any other versions? (I'm always on the look out for cheap sources). www.ricam.co.uk have various MR11s, and you should find a reasonable price for Philips 20W 10 deg elsewhere if you do enough Googling. Unfortunatey I don't know of anywhere cheaper than Lumicycle for 5 & 12W spots. ~PB |

Now I'm looking for someone who has an MR11 fitted kitchen/bathroom ... |

Unfortunately, they don't seem to list a 5W MR11, but they've got me stuff not listed on teh website before, so you could ask (though that bulb is now listed, I see). I've used teh company for routine stuff (including bulbs for mny lumis) and a number of more specialist things (specific colour temperature flourescent tubes and metal halides) and always been very happy with the service. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |
