LED Light Bulbs
Still rather expensive initially, but the power savings and long-life appears to offset initial cost over time. |
The problem is every country has different systems
We work on a fairly lethal 240Volt system
So buying from the USA (110V?) is not an option |
You crack me up Michael.
It is not a measure of lethality, and in the US we use the 240V but only for large loads like clothes dryers, ranges, water heaters, and interior heating. More problematic can be the frequency difference; in the US the frequency is 60 Hz.
But to the point, if the product is made for US standards it is likely made for Oz, European, etcetera standards. Get shopping local.
Look in the plant section of stores as well as lighting; in the US we have a wide range of fluorescents bulbs made specifically for growing plants & often stocked in gardening. They come in tubes of various lengths, as well as screw in type, and they have a range of colors from reds to blues, and mixes. They have been around for at least 30 years. It's not rocket science.
