Folks,
I am looking for some decent 240 volt night lights with a photocell - to buy or build. Where I live I can find two products - cheap imports with incandescent 7w bulbs that burn out in a few weeks, and Osram Lunettas, which look good and seem to last just fine, but the amount of light they give off is pretty pitiful. Something like a higher-power, 240 volt Lunetta would be what I want. Or - a source for small 240 volt e14 bulbs that work with a photocell and last more than a few hundred hours.
Any thoughts? I am also thinking of buying some photocells like these:

- but before I do that I wouldn't mind knowing if they'll work with led or at least cf bulbs.
Would love to hear your thoughts - remember, whatever I buy or make has to work at 240 volts. Thanks!
