Just fitted these, 96p from from Maplin :D
Got 2 of them, fairly easy to fit, just had to jigsaw the holes in the panel, i had to find some slightly longer M4 screws for the stainless faceplate.
Don't worry if the lights say 12VAC just means they've got a bridge rectifier in them, which in english means it doesn't matter which way round you wire them to DC.
Copied the idea off skell, that's another beer I owe him.

what's the Maplin code? I can't find them.....

code is A43FR
pg 483
to be honest when i saw the price i thought they had made a mistake.

they look good at night, the light isn't as 'warm' as normal bulbs but it uses next to no power.

E D I T-just checked maplin and they're no longer available- bummer

BusTards! Everyone wants to rape us on LED prices. I'm wanting to change most of our interior lights to LED, but can't find any at resonable price. :cry:

oh yeah cos when you go to ikea you can just "wonder round" the lighting dept, before being hearded into some other dept and made to endure 3 hours of the wife going "oh i like that" and "we could do with one of these" :lol:

ikea lights are good, andquite a few in broken boxes for extra discount :wink: but if you wanna go go at 9m on a week night on your own! :lol:
