Electrical question- any sparkys around?
 

Guys, I need half a dozen RX7s metal halide lamps for some new floods at home. Any do's / dont's / avoid / recommendations?

Thanks muchly :)

Tip:

If using asymmetric reflectors (which most are) as downlighters, the glass should be almost horizontal to the ground. Or if used for highlighting stuff like walls and signs; Parallel to the surface being illuminated. If illuminating the gournd it should be aimed like this:

Not angled or pointing outwards by any large amount. Annoys the hell out me when people point them outwards so that they illuminate the sky and dazzle anyone/everyone who walks/drives past.

Also consider ASD smartfloods if you want to lower your electric bill. Unless you specifically need a certain colour or brightness level.

Ok, thanks for that. They're just to light the garden so will be mounted in the eves pointing straight down. Agree 100% with the dazzle comment!
