Alternatively, how about this situation: 3W E14 LED flickering bulb: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/453439550/flickeringly_candle_bulbs.html and some E14 holders hooked together in series...

I see what you are saying, but the reason I'm hesitant to buy a multimeter is that I don't intend on doing any other electrical jobs like this in the future, and I don't like accumulating things which I then have to store with a mountain of other DIY tools that I'll rarely ever use again. In...

I can tell you that when I took away the solar power current and replaced the battery, it flickered as normal. I will open up the solar panel and see what battery is in there for its output. Would love to crack this and get alot of these £1 tealights hooked up to the auto-solar panel!

my tealight LED and the LEDs on the solar powered lights must each be 1W or less. I believe it is this LED: http://runguang.en.alibaba.com/product/525970977-209482664/selling_led_e10_24v_0_1w.html but without the screw base. Is it possible that overloading this with power would stop...

no, it was a complete stab in the dark. I'm guessing the LEDS are very similar for power consumption. Maybe 0.1W each led? (they aren't very bright). So the power source should power 0.1Wx100 bulbs and I was running 0.1Wx51 bulbs. The last bulb being the tealight. [/img]

Very interesting... [/img] This evening I had an idea. Outside, I have an old solar-powered set of LED fairy lights in the garden. (£12) The panel when charged powers 100 little lights. (however, 50 of those lights at the end have snapped off due to a break in the cable). So the...

really? If so cheap, that might be a much better solution. I didn't realise a brighter actual bulb would cost so little run.

Because when you walk past the lounge, I would like to see some glowing candles in there to give a slight presence. And I believe they might be 0.1W each LED bulb, so pennies to run hopefully. Thanks for the xmas lights suggestion, but nothing compared to some well placed imitation candles...

Or... I've just checked, each tealight runs from a 3V battery. Could I buy a 12 volt adapter to power 4 tealights?

please, no batteries fuss! And as small power as possible for the bulb. I'm guessing each battery tealight is maybe 1W from memory.

Hi all, I have a pack of LED tealight candles from the £1 shop. Each one runs one a little battery. What would be the easiest and cheapest way (or an alternative product?) to adapt these to work on the mains? Essentially, I would like four of these little flickering LED lights placed...

chewing gum...

Naff isn't a word I've heard from others who have complimented other LED designs around the house. Actually I was thinking of having it neatly spiraling outwards from the centre of the ceiling.

It is a very small hallway, maybe 1x2m. The lights have a little control box where you can opt for static or another light pattern. Then a little more cable and the UK plug.

Hi all, I have a string of static LED fairy lights which plug into the mains. (UK). Is there any way I could adapt a regular ceiling light bulb socket (eg bayonet) so that I could hook the LED string into this? I could create a nice pattern on the ceiling then and run the lights for a longer...

you're right. I will let everyone know how they get on once I send it off. Unfortunately due to the recent bad weather in England, I now have a leaking roof to fix which takes precedent. (money wise) Fingers crossed for when I do send it off, which should be in a few months.

Hi all, Please check these photos out of my 6x7m flat roof. I was told last summer that it would cost between £1500 or 2000 to have this replaced. (I think 2k buys 3 ply?) Is my roof near the end? I'm getting quite a few leaks now upstairs. When I looked on the roof, most sealing...
