But here’s a nightlight for your driveway or backyard anyway! By iZoom®, and direct from the late-night infomercials, this solar-powered light has (8) white COB LEDs across its face and a rechargeable lithium battery inside. It’s motion and light-sensitive, and shines brighter when it senses motion . Measures 4-1/2" x 3-3/8" x 1-3/4" and comes with a self-adhesive pad on the back, plus screws and mollies. You supply the darkness. Sells for $12.95 at a popular home retailer.

This pre-filled PC board has (50) white LED chips on a board measuring 22" long x 1-1/2" wide at its widest, with clearly marked power in/thru jumpers at each end. You’ll need at least 24VDC at 300mA to fire it up. Max is 32VDC 1A, and we don’t recommend staring directly at it when it’s in operation.

This LED COB light panel operates at 32-36VDC at 2 amps, and it’s insanely bright. On a 6" square PC board--a takeout from unused medical equipment--has (3) rows of (5) white COB LEDs. Board is coated, and each LED has a 7/16” plastic bubble over it. There are (6) grommeted 3/16” mounting holes. Has clipped-off black and red leads on opposite sides marked for polarity.

This 7-1/2 foot 16-3AWG gray power cord is hospital grade, which means the connections are sealed in solid (and see-through) acrylic so they won’t spark in oxygen-rich environments. This one has a female IEC (C-6) computer/appliance plug at one end and a standard grounded plug at the other. UL/CSA.

These unusual, yet semi-awesome, accent light fixtures are brushed aluminum cans, 2-3/4” tall x 2-1/8” dia, and emit white light from an internal LED. Have a pair of 5/32” mounting holes on a removable back plate and (44) 5/16” dia holes spiraling around the top half. We like them wall- or ceiling-mounted for atmosphere. Rated at 85-265 VAC so they work on standard household voltage. Draw just 1W and have 2”+ leads.

If not, you need this modern accent light. In brushed aluminum, this one’s a circular light diffuser with (3) dozen 3-headed fins. Measures 3-1/2" dia x 1-5/8" below a 2-3/4” x 1-3/16” solid housing. Housing has 2” leads and a bar mount. Operates between 85-265 VAC, so standard house current works but the light needs to be hard-wired. Draws just 1W for a warm-white LED. From Lumicon.

Our uber-slick, modern wall sconce is a COB LED that draws just 1W and throws white light up and down from a 3” long x 2-3/8” square hunk of brushed aluminum that’s open on the ends. (Yes, could be mounted to light to the sides, and yes, it could be a ceiling mount.) Has a pair of 1-1/2” torsion springs to pull it tight to the wall from behind. Operates between 85-265 VAC, so standard house current works but the light needs to be hard-wired. Includes a driver circuit and leads. From Lumicon.

Yes, this is the brightest bulb in the box. Our 120VAC 4.8W COB LED bulb casts a warm white color, and connects via (2) pins to a GU10 base. Lense measures 1-3/8” dia in a 1-7/8” dia surround, and the whole thing measures 3-1/8” long not counting the pins.

Genesis, the 21st century version. We’re kind of not kidding because this is the guts of a super-intense warm white COB LED light fixture that is so bright it could stand in for the sun. Sorry, we got carried away. Let’s just say it’s insanely bright. Sun-like. Measures 3-3/8” dia with (12) 32VDC COB LED lights, clear or diffused cover lenses (our choice) which may need to be reglued and (4) mounting holes. You add the wiring and a cover. A single LED normally sells for $1.50 each. Do the math. Please mount on a proper heat sink, or your new lamp will go out in a blaze of glory. We recommend a dedicated LED driver or a power supply with a 500mA max output. 

This light fixture takeout has (8) 1/16” dia surface-mounted COB LEDs on a 1-7/8” dia circuit board/heat sink. Nominally rated for 1A at 32VDC via a 4mm ID 2-pin Molex connector. Most will have a 3/8” square clear lens over the elements. The lumens are a mystery, but it’s brighter than an MIT physics major. Color temp is warm white.

Ceiling fans often have lights, but they aren’t lights, so don’t try to slow them down with a light dimmer rheostat. Do the right thing and get a fan controller. In a cream/off-white color, these are sized for standard electrical boxes and will need 1-3/8” back clearance. You pick: the dual slide fader for up to a 2.5A fan and a 300W light fixture; or the single slide for fan only, rated for 5A. Both include instructions, wire nuts and mounting screws. UL.

This here is a modern-day replica of an old timey metal sign with rows of light bulbs inside. Still in black steel, but smaller, and with little round bulbs with yellow-white LEDs (to mimic incandescents, we think) inside, so it’ll light up longer than you will, probably. In a dollar sign shape, it measures 13-7/8" x 7" x 2" with (11) bulbs. You add a pair of “AA”s for power. Mounts from keyed slots on the back.

Like returning to the ’80s! Perfect for stayin’ alive! This big bright gold-colored metal track-style light has a standard medium base socket and will take up a 60W incandescent bulb. Measures 4” dia x 5-3/4” long, and pivots on a 4” dia base with a screw and Mollie for the keyed 1/8” mounting slot. Rotary power switch on the back. UL.

Not quite enough for night baseball, but a nice little 3-LED headlamp to clip on the visor of a baseball-style cap and throw 36 lumens onto what you’re trying to see or read. Measures 3-1/4” wide x 2” in a slightly curved black plastic housing with a pair of 1-3/8” long clips. Comes with a pair of replaceable button-cell batteries.

Better buy this one, because there won’t be another one coming along any minute. This one’s a ten-position copper bus bar (aka busbar and buss bar), measuring 4-3/4” x 3/4” on a mounting plate.

This warm white COB LED light is awfully cute at 3/8" but don’t let the cuteness fool you--it’s insanely bright. It’s also deeply discounted (normally $10). Mounted on a 3/4” wide 6-leg pinwheel-shaped PC board, it draws 1.3A at its nominal 32VDC, but will work with as low as 24V. Get a good heat sink, too, cuz it can get right hot when it lights up the night. Made in the USA.

This thin little disc, 2-1/4” dia x 5/32” thick, is home to a 3/8” dia warm-white COB LED. Nominally rated for a 32VDC 1A with well marked power tabs, it will light up with as little as 24VDC 30mA. Has both countersunk 1/8” and straight 3/32” mounting holes. This puppy will get a tad hot at the rated voltage, so our Surplus Heat Dispersal Department recommends adding a heat sink.
