Lidl LED light strip

[artie]

Apparently this is coming to my local on Monday.

There is a part of my workshop a little darker than the rest would this help, do you think?
What does it mean by sensor?

Artie,
they have em here right now......only colour, no white at 15 euro's per pop......

Are they any good and what's the sensor for?

Probably movement sensor, they look similar to ones advertised years ago to put under kitchen cupboards to light up the worktop.

Lidls have 2ft led batten fittings in store at present for £7.99 they might be a better solution than a fragile strip.
Of course Lidl NI and Lidl UK might have different offers at different times.

Thanks.

Yeah Lidl.ni seems to get lumped in with Lide.ie

I suppose it makes sense logistically.

Those look handy.I could do with something like that directly over my bench.Can they be added to the same circuit as a couple of fluorescent tubes?I intend to replace the tubes with LED conversions when they expire,but don't really want to bin them while they work.I think I'd have to pay to dump them in any case.

Search LED battens on eBay.
I used a combination of 1200mm and 1500mm to form a continuous rectangle, on the ceiling, about 900mm in from the white walls of my garage/workshop. This uses the white walls to give a shadow free light in the whole space.

Yes of course they can be added to the same cct as existing lights. They could also just have a flex with a plug fitted.
I have a couple of 4 way light fittings, the sort of thing that was all rage with 50w halogen bulbs in the shed. I have them fitted with led GU10 bulbs ,wired to a plug and plugged into a handy socket.

I bought one and fitted it in my greenhouse. Nice fitting.
