[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 990061, member: 199791"] With regard to those who have had their floodlights blown to smithereens, you should look into some LED replacements, cheaper to run, cheaper to buy, cheaper to repair, and often have a smaller footprint... :) Can get them in versions of 10W, 20W, 50w, and 100W+, far out-shining the halogen equivalents, while using less power, they also have PIR & non-PIR, with & without light sensors, etc., you can get them from most DIY places here in the UK, but there's also chinese alternatives, but they do require some rewiring (I have 4x 10w LED floods, all of them needed a new cable cos they supplied them with about 6" of poor-quality aluminium 3-Core wire which wasn't even earthed inside the lamps!), but are far, far cheaper than what UK DIY places sell the same things for... :) Picture shamelessly stolen from ebay: [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nOoAAOSwNyFWdTw0/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
