Typical really, I was quite happy with my daylight strip lights and 150w spot lamp over the lathe, reading through this thread I decided that if my lights went I would go for LEDs next time. Guess what? a couple of days after reading the thread my spot light went, tried to get a new bulb and they don't make them for that light anymore (it was really old) so I bit the bullet and made a capitol investment of £14 or so plus VAT and brought an LED spot light.
I stripped the mounting fittings off of the old one and fitted them to the new one and it works a treat with an added bonus......my head no longer gets burnt by the heat!! and, I have noticed that the dust does not settle on the glass as much so it stays brighter for longer between each wipe. Cooler to wipe too... I just can't stop winning really.
