Decking lights
Can anyone suggest which decking lights would look better in our garden, those with 2 or 4 leds? Obviously we don't want Blackpool illuminations on our patio but then again don't want it to look silly! Anyone know?

Better to compare with CFL lamps which are just as efficient as LEDs. A CFL lamp rated at 11W gives out around 900 Lumens, the same as a 60W incandescent lamp. LED lamps typically produce only around 100 Lumens / Watt
The LED cluster lamps I have seen are really just for decoration (mood lighting) and provide almost no useable light (not enough to read by for example) Theses LED cluster lamps are rated around 1.2 W which is only just enough to see the egde of a step for instance. There are some on the market which are rated about 5 W which provide a better amount of light but are quite expensive at �6 each.
