It's 118mm for the main and according to multiple answers in the Argos Q&A, it isn't suitable for LED bulbs. After a new model once this halogen bulb goes.Comment

I wonder if someone is getting Watts and Lumens mixed up. 420 lumens is about equivalent to a 40W incandescent bulb.
EDIT: Ignore that, looks like they do exist: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131641285669Last edited by Paralytic; 11 June 2021, 15:07.Comment

It's a 240V dimmer uplighter, yeah. I was testing how much power my homelab servers were using with a plug-in power meter and checked the lamp out as my missus said the bulb I was using "used a lot". Not half.Comment

But how on earth is it 420W?!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Tried LEDs in one of the lights at my gaff. Awful, awful. The landlady is going to have to splash some cash to get it work.
I bought dimmable LEDs but all they did was flicker.
