I surfed around on banggood when I found these really cheap, really powerful LED chips (bare chip/module). Amongst many models up to 100W(!) was a nice cheap 10W module that seemingly doesn't require a constant-current source, blurts out 900 lumen, and costs 71 cent apiece. It requires a PSU and some form of heatsink obviously. Since techinc has an abundance of both and isn't afraid to tinker or have weird-looking contraptions I made the plan to buy these to increase or enhance the lights over our solder tables while freeing up the lights that are there for other, less-well lit corners (some of them have broken already, too).
So I've ordered a handful of warm-white 10W LED modules and half a handful of cool white 10W LED modules. (the solder work benefits by having a mix of warm white and cool white I think). When they get delivered (end October I guess) we'll need to fix them up with heatsinks and a PSU and hang them up.
I have bought a few extra warm white ones, perhaps for over the kitchen area, or elsewhere. The powerbar still has lots of unused channels, so... ;-)
Help with this project is welcome. A few loose Euros to help cover the cost of the parts, too. :-)
