Did the variety LED lamp for 12 V for 3 years already in use. There have failed single LED, but the remaining ends, lights are still bright enough. On the ground, I have now bought the 230V 3W LED. Have taken help no light meter, but with the 40 W light bulb - lamp, I felt the room was not so bright. Stupid, I have not converted earlier. Current I save now, too! When the technology for 230 V should not be mature, I build my light line to 12V. submit my comment on life, if the thing is broken.
