@somf69 eye candy?

Mama always told me not to look into the eye’s of the sun,
But mama, that’s where the fun is!

@cengland0 Warm lighting works nicely for most folks for ambient lighting. (Only 80 lumens each puck.)

@cengland0 We have had two different common sources of light in our history, the sun, and fires. While you are tending toward making all your light sunish, I’m happy to have my indoor lighting more like fire. That’s my rationale, and I’m sticking to it.

@sligett You can continue living in the medieval era if you wish. As for me, I enjoy progress.

@cengland0 Extremely blue light screws with my circadian rhythms, so for the evening, when I’d use them, this is actually a positive for me.

@laidbackoh Yeah it is going to piss off some people when they buy these thinking they are good to go at home and discover they are 12volt. They need to make that abundantly obvious. Bad move that they didn’t.

@Kidsandliz If you look at the photo of what comes in the box, it becomes abundantly obvious that there is a 120-volt plug and converter, no?

@Kidsandliz Thats why they include a 12V wall transformer. No LED light runs off 110 directly.

@Kidsandliz a wall wart adapter is part of each kit, they are good to go at home.

The fact that you could cut the adapter out and hook these up for mood lighting in your van with shag carpet, on your broat, or on your riding mower is a bonus.

@laidbackoh Like others have already stated, it comes with this device:

@davecastine @Quantumcat But that should also be included in words as this is important. I often don’t look at all the photos - and shouldn’t have to in order to find out think kind of basic information about a product being sold.

@Kidsandliz

Agreed - the words are too thin for what you actually get…

What’s in the Box?
6x Puck Lights

@anorangeman true & a bit overpriced, IMHO, for Meh, but for once just looking for some dim watts

@RedOak @ $20.00 they seem a wee over-priced to me. Didn’t you buy those desk lamps for the cabin?

@therealjrn ha, good eye, I did. Those were for task lighting. These might be a good fit for low energy ambient lighting.

Either that or I’m a hopeless hoarder. With cheap deal standards.

@therealjrn I’m a fan of the DC current for local, crowd.

Many of the higher energy consumers in a home would be more efficient on DC current. While DC doesn’t travel well over distances - A/C does that better, it is fine over short distances.

And solar & batteries are DC. Inverters could be smaller (true sine wave inverters, especially bigger ones, are expensive) or even eliminated.

Would or will take time but we need to get there.

@RedOak I had bought two pair of the desk lamps and recalled that you had an off-the-grid cabin from that thread. As far a DC current, I’m with you there.

@SweatGuruLyle Who the puck knows…

@Stallion It’s pucked up, isn’t it?

@Stallion And look at the hideous asymmetry of the hub-thingy with only three lights. You need four lights just to keep the Dark forces from throwing a pizza party in your closet — and thatʻs before they suck every member of your household into The Void.

@2many2no It appears that one 6 watt wall wart powers up to 4 pucks.

@2many2no if you look at the photo of the back of one of the pucks, it claims 1.3 watts.

With warm color light and low power consumption these might work well for ambient lighting.

But they’d work even “better” if they were cheaper.

@sligett these motherpucking sons of britches better get their shirt together!

@cinoclav pretty sure that was his motto after 8PM.
