4 LEDs to brighten up your life
4 fun ways to jazz up your space with this versatile lighting technology.
With LEDs consuming up to 30 per cent less energy than fluorescent bulbs, it's no wonder we're now seeing them in all sorts of places – from TV screens and home applications to wallpapers and streetlights. Curious how they could benefit you? Here are 4 of the best uses for LEDs at home.
Light up the backyard
Whether you're hosting a backyard bash or planning a camping weekend, these flexible strip lights are a great solution.
‣ Why we're fans: Kit out your campsite or backyard with over 1,000 lumens of brilliant white light, all from the convenience of a 12V cigarette lighter socket.
‣ When it'll save the day: Setting up camp in the dark has never been so easy with these durable and water-resistant LEDs. Plus, they feature a hook and loop backing that allows you to attach them to tent poles and awnings.
Underwater illumination

Brighten under the bed
Prone to stubbing your toes in the dark? Then these under-bed light strips are guaranteed to make life easier.
