Lighting Upgrade

Given the reputation of Sydney drivers, I am thinking about a boost to the lighting I have. Weisan queried my earlier post about my home made lights . Specifically he asked about cost effectiveness. For sure they are cheaper than any comparable commercial set. But the real payoff is that it's all standard components, assembled simply. When poking around the Jaycar store I found some new LEDs for MR16 downlight application. So I can just go and buy one of these and plug it in.



More specs on Jaycar's website here.

The cost of moving up from 160 lumen to 270 lumen? $AU60. I don't think there's any chance of such a cheap upgrade with a commercial light set.
