I know there was a thread on here a few weeks ago about apollo lights i think they were, that lit up a whole room. Does anyone know if they sell these in 240? Or recommend a good 240 light. Nothing I hate more than carrying around a transformer! Especially cos every job I have going on at the moment seems to be upstairs!
 
Mine is 110, mate.......I don't think they do 240. I had the same thoughts as you, carting a transformer about is hell.......however, the light is soooo good I wouldn't be without it/them.
All the best.
 
There sell really light transformers now literally no weight hardly in them..want 1 mysen as I hate the tranny

Does one light really do for a decent sized room?

No. not if you buy the 2 bulb one (2055?) like I did, it gives off a nice type of light but just not strong enough imo.
If you want a 240v light get a fluorescent in the plastic casings, for about £40 and far stronger than the apollo 2055.
Couldn't find the stronger one on Amazon etc but Scottie posted a link to mad4tools that have the stronger one.
But as I say get one of these if you want a 240, wire it yourself and I buy about 10m of cable so I can drag it where I want

Really! Sure they'all make more if they're in demand.
There are loads of bulbs on eBay. Metal halide is used a lot in hydroponics. I've not needed to change one yet in 12 months with a lot of use.

Just looked at the festoon syslite duo plus, is this the one Granty?
You'll be fecking sorry parting with £245 for that, 8000 lumens it gives off, same as the 2 bulb apollo, it's only ok in a room 3mx3m.

That's the one. I'm surprised at that there's a video somewhere of it and pictures in large areas and it's lit them up very well.


  • Unique LED configuration for 180° scattering angle and homogeneous illumination
  • High illuminating power (8000 lm) for brilliant lighting of a large surface area
  • Daylight-like colour (5000 K)
  • Sturdy and durable with 10,000-hour lifetime (L70) and shock-proof corners
  • Dust and water-resistant, withstands drops and impact (safety class IP 55)
 
There's lots with all round light gibbo, but the 2055 isn't strong enough in bigger rooms, no good having all round light if I've to pull it around a room.

@GrantyBoy, buy it, you'll be sick as f**k

Yeah I saw that one. Only one I could see available.
 
I can get one delivered for €199.
Only doubt is the bulbs, you sure we will get them?
