Have a look on ebay and buy some led replacement bulbs for them but, get the daylight white ones not warm white or alternatively make your own led light rig as i have just done :RpS_thumbup:

Screwfix are now doing double headed led site lights on a tripod 69.99 if there anything like the led lights had fitted to my garage they should be good and better than the halogen version
 
If you've got a costco account they have a good bright light in there around £39 I have one myself sorry no link. Church's light looks good for the price and useful extra sockets.
 
I bought a night searcher rechargeable one from tool station led charge lasts 4 hrs on high 7 hrs on low and low is plenty bright enough , I tested it out in my garden which is 100ft long and it lit the house up behind me on high ! If u have it on high don't look into it ffs I turned round and did that on a job couldn't see feck all for a min customer thought I was drunk nearly knocked me Stella over!!


It's really all the same just a different name
 
You could always adjust your working hours to those @Nisus does? He arrives about 10:30, and he's gone by 15:30. He said it means he can work the same hours all year round and allows him to plan his workload more accurately.

Obviously he told me all that before he 'mentioned' that he was on day rate. :RpS_crying:

I bought 2 led spotlight to try out. They're not the best as you need two for a bedroom but they give off no heat and can take a knock. If you could find some brighter reasonably priced ones youd be onto a winner
 
Feck all that, a £10 quid halogen from cheapo suppliers, take glass out (that's what makes them blow most, overheating) and get 10 bulbs for a tenner from local Pak1 builders merchants :RpS_thumbup:

The £50 you save can be invested in beer
