LED bulbs

[gotak]

The back area of our town house's communal driveway is very dark and last week there was some girl sitting right at the corner where I back my car towards to get out. I was doing a car swap and when I walk back then I saw her and it gave me a bit of a shock. My car has bad visibility on the back and when I was backing out I couldn't see her cause well the back up light isn't so bright. I could have easily have ran her over cause there isn't that much space in that corner when I put the car's rear end there.

Anyhow.

I want to see about getting some LED bulbs so I can have that area illuminated at all times during the night without running up a huge electricity bill. The problem is I can't find anything on google as to a reliable place to get it from. I'd prefer to be able to buy them directly from a store in the Toronto area. Do anyone know of such a place? If not which online shop should I go to? I need something that at least gives me the same level of lighting as a 60 watt conventional bulb.

And yes I already considered and put some solar garden LED lights in the general area but they aren't doing the job 100%.

Thanks!

this works as a descent spot light.
Its not the brightest, but considering its only a 1watt light bulb your saving tons of energy.
Also... for the energy that it uses, it is extremely bright!

The price is right but i want something other then a spot light. I need to light up a general area not just one spot.

thats kinda impossible..... Since LED's generally only give a 'spot light' or 'focused light' effect.

Your better off just using some smaller 4watt or 9watt CFL.

IF your really cheap on power... use 5 watt CFL bulbs you can buy from Home depot for $2 (using the $2 off coupon which is in the hot deals section).

LED's can be a flood light depending on the lens and reflector used. LED's themselves emit very narrow bands of light but its all in the lens.
