    Non-permanent LED mounting?

    Thanks! I felt odd about asking such a basic question but the suggestions are a huge help! I wasn't online over the weekend and was thinking about drilling holes (spaced for 20mm stars) into an aluminum strip and then using small bolts to secure each star. That way I could at least tighten...

    Non-permanent LED mounting?

    I just ordered 6 XM-L's and 6 XP-G's on 20mm stars (with various drivers, both AC/DC and DC/DC) as a way to experiment and learn about wiring different numbers of LED's with various drivers. Is there a good way to temporarily mount the LED's (for heatsinking purposes) so I can change them out...

    Best LED lighting for vanity / makeup mirrors?

    In our bathroom over the mirrors, I am using the Philips Ambient A19 soft white light bulbs and my wife seems to be happy. If I compare one of these side-by-side to the regular bulbs we were using the color looks identical. I have nothing but the Cree can lights in the house and was definitely...

    75 watts of light and only uses 7.8 watts

    I purchased several of the Cree LR6's and can't imagine these being any better...especially given that these are more expensive. I'm going to research them a little and might buy one just to give my thoughts and a side-by-side comparison to the LR6. Am I seeing correctly that they don't make a...

    FTC wades in on home lighting labels

    My initial impression is that this is a good move...they included a lot of the key factors such as color, life, and watts consumed. The fact of the matter is that the incan wattage value is a misleading comparison and is hindering the adoption of newer lighting technologies. Of course, there...

    Anyone use Cree LR6 fixtures?

    My thoughts exactly. Kinda funny actually...my mom is an interior decorator and when I told her I was putting in LED lights she thought I was crazy. I guess she's been trained to think LED light = ghostly white/blue. I brought her in and asked her to pick out the LED light and she couldn't...

    Anyone tried LuxBrilliant LED lights?

    I haven't seen this but it looks like it has potential. I might have to try one out...I could think of several uses for something like this.

    Anyone use Cree LR6 fixtures?

    In my previous post, the 3rd pic down really does a good job at showing how the Cree LR6 compares with the 65W incan. It's nice and smooth and noticeably brighter. Here are some more shots: The Cree LR6 is over the kitchen sink...the rest of the recessed lights are 65W incans and the pendants...

    Anyone use Cree LR6 fixtures?

    Here are some pics...we just moved in so the place is a wreck (my wife wanted me to say that:))... First up, the original 65W incan standard recessed flood: Here's the Cree LR6 replacing it (NOTE: this shot didn't turn out so it doesn't do the LR6 justice...the camera was in auto mode and...

    Anyone use Cree LR6 fixtures?

    Sure...I'll try to take some this afternoon and hopefully the pics will show what I'm seeing. As I mentioned, this was my second LED recessed light purchase and my thought was that I would buy several different ones to find the best one. I'm confident that I can stop looking after buying the...

    Anyone use Cree LR6 fixtures?

    I just got two of these to try them out and I was completely blown away! I guess for the price I should have been but I've learned not to set my expectations too high when it comes to this type of stuff. I got the 2700K version and it easily matches my regular incan recessed lights...
