These ones I think http://m.banggood.com/6W-76led-COB-LED- ... 60210.html.

If you add a few to the basket then they come down in price (I tried 6) and it is free shipping to the UK if you don't mind waiting although they arrived in last than two weeks for me.

Simon, do you happen to know if those LEDs require a driver? Many of those COB strips don't have built in current limiters so although they will be bright for a while they can go pop due to thermal runaway (resistance drops as they get hotter, so more current, so more heat etc etc). Admittedly at under a couple of quid delivered they're almost a disposable item...I now have several on order to make some under bonnet work lights :thumbright:

Ian is the man to ask about that - I just connect them to a 12V rc lipo battery the same as he does :-)

Ahh, that's probably why they work well then, you won't reach 14.5v like the car can deliver. I'll order some drivers, they're only a couple of quid too, though annoyingly more than the leds :lol:
