Arlec ALD070 6W Dimmable LED Downlight
Great price and easy to convert to Led from the original hallogen
I have installed these in my studio where colour is important, the using the 3200k is so terrible I hate that wavelength, it makes food look awful and artwork even worse. I do like 5000K is my pref but these switch 3k 4k and 6.5k the 6.5 is not that blue, it measures out to be 5800k and is acceptable as a daylight work light. I have done some video under these and they seem to be not to bad. Cant beat the price, I will do a review on youyube at some point

Problems with exchanging dimmable halogen down lights with LED versions
LED light technology has come of age due to energy savings, longevity and user selectable settings for Cool light, Day light and Warm White.
Another benefit is that they are affordable with prices coming down to a the equivalent level of halogen lights.
