Anyone using circular LED panel lights that are reliable, dimmable and halogen colour temp (so 2700k or less IME)?

I don't really want the faff of plastering the ceiling and fitting different types of fitting smile

I put 3 recessed ones into my mums kitchen, 19w each if i recall, and about the size of a small plate. They work really well. Will snap a pic later.

They sound like the same thing I have - just need to replace one that's died after 3yrs...so was looking for recommendation on brand/place ordered from.

I sense this may be a problem with a lot of LED stuff - designed to last a decade so cost effective...warrantied for 12mths so in reality smile

Oh these were ebay specials at 11 quid a pop or something, and to be fair have lasted 2 and a half years so far

Ta.

Have resigned myself to doing the same thing...though am tempted to go back to incandescent. I am pretty sure I spent less than the £3 per year this one has effectively cost me on halogen bulbs smile And looking at the casing etc, I doubt it will be more "green" to dispose of.

Progress smile
