LED temp light stringers

[mstrlucky74]

curious is anyone has installed LED lights on stringers. If so what type of light? thanks

Good question. We've recently transitioned from left-handed 100W incandescent lamps to right-handed CFL's. The CFL's last forever compared to the incandescent and you can put 4X as many on a stringer. I've seen new construction buildings going up with temp LED's, not sure what they're using or how you keep people from stealing them.

Thanks Inf. Yeah would love to see the type of LED being used on stringers.

With poco rebates, many suppliers in my area as well as HD are selling LED A-lamp replacement for a few dollars. That would work for stringers, but given how cheap CFL's are even compared to LED, that's what I would use.

If you are worried about breakage, LED A-lamps are more rugged and easier to clean up.

$2.17ea. They'll probably break or get destroyed before stolen. Dunno how much light they put out compared to a 60w incandescent, but they are cheap enough to try.

A broken CFL could require some expensive clean-up if rules were followed exactly...

Any reason not to stick with CFLs?

They work great for temps and as Rob mentioned you can put a ton on a circuit.

Why do LED draw more causing you to put less on a circuit than CFL?

The LEDs may even draw less than CFLs but LEDs provide a very directional light source which is not going to be ideal for general temp lighting.

CFLs cast light in most directions.

Thanks...good to know.
