    Hows it going?

    Ive put up a shed and it's nearly finished so I want to order some lights. I want to get some LED battens but I'm not sure what to look for. Has anyone any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Is there a Kellihers close to you? https://kellihers.com/branchlocator/

    If so have a look at their "NCV2X5/840 Cleveland LED 5FT Twin IP65 C/Proof"

    Lovely items. I have them in my garage and they're fantastic.

    My setup here

    I can post a parts list if you want.

    Don't bother with the consumer level stuff like Hue, they're only for accent lighting rather than task lighting.

    Amazon led lights arrive broken then you pay more to ship them back to uk than they cost

    No they don’t and Amazon do free returns. They’ll send you a pre paid thing which you print off and bring to the post office.

    Why would you post a blatant lie ?

    The likes of kellihers or any electrical wholesaler will steer you in right direction.

    Avoid the 6500k white light - its piercing.

    A very good daylight hue is 4000k-4500k - its more a true daylight brightness and great for kitchens / hallways and workplaces

    2700k is the warm white that you'd be used to in standard bulbs - ideal for relaxing areas.

    For a shed or workspace 6500 is perfect

    Go with Teds recommendation. Excellent quality and light for small money. Fit in minutes. I put 2 in mine; one on the roof and one over a workbench. Very good lighting; and not piercing in any way as was alluded to above.
