It's not beam pattern or power though, dimmable is one definite benefit if you need it, had very mixed results with that from the cheaper one. | |

I've been to many a lighting exhibition etc and seen the proof with tonnes of comparisons. | |

Cheap one from deal extreme, same applies for the other slightly more expensive ones I got from costco though. The way the leds are mounted is all the same. | |

You don't need ip65 in living room . I can get jcc fire rated brushed chrome for £7.50+ vat , then buy your lamp seperate | |

I'm telling you that the 5w cheap LED I have here gives a great beam pattern, much wider than a halogen. It basically looks exactly the same as that JCC one does. | |

FFS John :lol: it's all about the beam angle I've just said that! | |

Far better light output how? | |

the jcc ones have far better light output then a standard downlight with an led bulb. | |

In what way are the non dimmable ones better? Serious question, it looks like a downlighter with an LED bulb to me. | |

They are far superior to normal downlights with LED bulbs. Have installed both the dimmable and non dimmable versions in varies houses including my gaffers. | |

Probably in the same region as most other LED lamps? | |

There's a reason why JCC are so expensive. It's all about the beam angle ;) | |

Ahh hadn't seen that. Anytime I've got downlights on its because I want to be able to see. Got lamps for ambient lighting. | |

Dimmable is important to me though, as it's a living room I want to be able to dim them. If it was a bathroom or kitchen I wouldn't be bothered. | |

Best most of the cost is in the dimmable factor. Non dimming would be far more (cost) sensible | |

It's more having LED's for me than the energy saving/replacement bulb costs. | |

At £50 / light you will need to be using them a hell of a lot of time to make it worth while. In normal houses its often a 2/3/4 year break even when your spending £4/£5 a bulb let alone £50. | |

Thinking of having downlights put in the living room. |
