Trouble Finding Outdoor Static Lights in the UK

Recommended Posts

I'm having a real tough time right now finding either some incandescent or LED lights that are just static and NOT multi-function that are suitable for outdoor use in the UK.

For the life of me I've looked almost everywhere that's available in my area and all I get is multi-function, or if not static lights that are suitable for indoor use only.

Are there any fellow UK light enthusiasts out there that could tell me where to find these types of lights (for a relatively cheap price)?

The reason I am looking for these type of lights specifically is because multi-function lights are such a pain when it comes to LOR, with them doing their own thing every 5 seconds. :?

Many thanks for your help.

Better still, if the lights are low voltage and use a plug pack or transformer (like those in Australia), I find it is better to use a DC control board with a suitable DC power supply and cut off the controller completely. The DC boards are cheaper than the AC boards, have no problems with low loads, and the whole setup is much more compact as you no longer use the transformers.

There is however a bit of a learning curve in getting the correct voltage power supply, (Or in adding resistors to get the right LED currents - brightness)
