Hi any particular reason why 6500K LED battens are not preferable to DIY. There are at least two high efficiency 100Lumens/W models available. One is a 2ft 18W Eveready 1800Lumens (100LM/W) and the other is a 4ft 22W Wipro 2400LM (>100LM/W)

I bought the Wipro 22W, you can see my bad review on that site as well, just spoiled on 11th day, and its in drawing room, and you get full wrath from family. Id suggest may be try Syska a better valued brand in lights these days.anandjm wrote:Hi any particular reason why 6500K LED battens are not preferable to DIY.
