I was looking for 5W LED light and bought one from Woolworths. The ticket price was $15.75 however it got scanned at $2 (saving of $13.75). There is no special price ticket so there should be heaps of stock in every store. I just checked and it is also available online.
https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/Browse/entertainment-home…

Ensure you buy only warm light version because cool light was scanning at full price.

Masters sell the similar 4 x LED globes for $35.

2 x Olsent Cool White 14W Bulbs for $1 @ Woolworths(Saving of $9.49) - In Store Only
https://www2.woolworthsonline.com.au/Shop/Browse/magazines-b…

There is no Special Price ticket in the store however it scans at $1.

Ensure you only purchase Cool White version as both Warm White and Cool Day Light scans at full price.

      Bought a few at Northland Shopping Centre Woolies. It's not a mistake. They had a 'better than half' price tag.

        What makes you think every state in australia doesn't have at least 1 "northlands shopping centre"?? C'mon people, wake up whe describing where deals are.

        Always list state

        </general rant>

        • endotherm on 20/09/2015 - 06:20

          There is only

          NORTHLAND VIC 3072
          and
          NORTHLANDS QLD 4350

          to deal with, so in fact there is only one.

        • justtoreply on 20/09/2015 - 10:13

          @endotherm:

          There's a "Northlands shopping centre" near my home. I'm not in VIC. Not my fault that it was unclear that he meant suburbs when it could be read as a shopping centre name with a typo.

          You probably had to google and check there were no other northland too, which invalidates your position that it can be taken as assumed knowledge.

          PLUS I made it clear it's a "general rant" because people so often dont think that names are re-used across states. Which is false. If everybody clarified with state too we'd all be better off.

        • endotherm on 20/09/2015 - 14:41

          @justtoreply: I've been around a few years, sonny! It's not the first time I've encountered this question, having lived and worked nearby to the Victorian Shopping centre most of my life. I didn't have to Google it, but I did to get the postcodes and for clarification of my point. You see there is only one NORTHLAND (singular, if you like), not to be confused with the NORTHLANDS (plural) in Queensland. And as for every State in the land having more than one — lets check Google — Yep, not true! If you want to go make assumptions that he might not be referring to the major shopping complex with its own postcode in the suburb of Preston, and that he might not know how to spell, and that I might not know how to click on his profile to find out what State he is in… well that's not my fault. My experience over the years has taught me that when I hear "NORTHLAND", I KNOW what is being referred to.

          As a rant, it was a poorly chosen example, I was merely pointing out there was only one and not to be mistaken, and certainly not as prolific as you made out. Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you that more detail should be included by posters, as this is a national site (at least). You could have picked your mark better though and attacked a post more like "I'm looking for recommendations for a panel beater in the Western Suburbs…".

        • MementoMori on 21/09/2015 - 10:30

          @endotherm: Many Victorians refer to the Victorian Northland as 'Northlands', especially the people that live in the area (fully sick mate).

        • endotherm on 21/09/2015 - 13:29

          @domcc1: As I said, I lived and worked in the area most of my life. I have heard the odd bogan refer to it as Northlands but it isn't that common. I've also heard it referred to as "the shops". Maybe you rub shoulders with different people than I do.

          Still, that's not the point. Originally the poster said NORTHLAND. justtoreply took offence and contended there were multiple instances of NORTHLAND in every state. I stated the fact that there was only one Northland in all of Australia. Whether or not some locals get the name wrong is irrelevant.

    Please be aware that the beam angle for these MR16 LED is only 24 degrees. There are much wider angle ones available, which are better suited for lighting a wider area.

    • ericeric on 19/09/2015 - 16:56

      yes, very good price but only 24 degrees. The 5.5w one is 60 degree and much brighter.

      • wtfnodeal on 19/09/2015 - 17:02
        +1

        5.5w is 400lumen, the 20lumen makes a huge diff?

          +3

          its not the lumen but the angle eg 24dg but if you want the downlights to focus on a small area then it's good. I wouldn't recommend these for open areas like living and kitchen

        • spy on 20/09/2015 - 08:45

          @NeoWilson: agreed totally unless you like patches of light and multiple shadows. Personally they are no good to me even at $2.

      Shouldn't need to change your transformer. They are plug and play.

      • hotwinter on 20/09/2015 - 00:02

        Finger cross you don't have a electronic transformer… Otherwise blinking or one flash of light almost certainly.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/09/2015 - 10:57

      An electrician, and lighting shop, have previously told me that it depends on the type of transformer

      • SpendLess on 20/09/2015 - 14:36
        +1

        i plugged in a few and most worked fine. A couple of them flickered though. One did for a second then fixed itself and hasnt flickered since
        I would have thought each globe would have been made the same? so maybe some a dodgy??

  • cardiology on 19/09/2015 - 17:28
    +2

    It depends on whether your transformer is new enough to take the LED bulb. You need to try to put the new LED on and if it flickers, you need to change the transformer as well. The red one in Bunnings will fit all new LED lights at around $9.90 each.

    • ja912son on 20/09/2015 - 10:13

      Hi cardiology,
      whats the name of the red transformer at Bunnings? Is there a web link for that? I searched bunnings website, but did not find it. Thanks

  • No on 19/09/2015 - 17:32
    +1

    Is it safe to runs these on a dimmer? I put them in and they seem to work. They flicker if I leave the dimmer at 100% but at about 50% it is fine.

    Next time I have an electrician here I will get rid of the dimmer but in the meantime is it ok to use these?

    • mad__llama on 19/09/2015 - 23:15

      Yeah I'd like to know this as well. I never use the dimmer so that isn't a problem but I don't want to risk a fire…

    • twocsies on 20/09/2015 - 11:10
      +1

      The main risk would be if they are enclosed or higher wattage. The heat generated would reduce the lifetime of the bulb. Also, the dimmer in the circuit will likely cause more stress to the bulb, which will also decrease the lifetime of the bulb.

        Yep, the newer transformers need at least a 20w load to run. So I will need to re run the wiring with 4 LED globes off the one transformer, or replace the transformers. The older (though less efficient) transformers are fine. Struggling to undo several caps though, the paint has melted/ bubbled & sealed them tight.

        • Steptoe on 20/09/2015 - 16:22

    • placard on 20/09/2015 - 10:25

      LED is the type of globe if you like, irrespective of the fitting type.

      You can get halogen in bayonet/screw in and these MR16 downlights (small with two prongs).
      You can also then get LED lights in the same 3 types of fittings.

      I have bayonet and screw in fittings in my house and originally these housed the old incandescent globes, then I moved to CFL. As they break I'm replacing them with Philips LEDs like this:

        • placard on 21/09/2015 - 07:43

          Yeah no issues at all. Just as long as there's no dimmer switch it'll be fine.

          I picked 9w for bedrooms, but for the kitchen and dining I've got 12w/1050 Lumens, as I like those rooms to be lit brightly. Also in the bathroom I have two globes - one above the mirror and one on the ceiling - one is 9.5w the other is 12w, again as I like the bathroom to be bright.
