Does anyone know where I can buy these in New Zealand? www.smarthome.com

Thanks,

571767 2007-07-23 09:47:00 Now that looks real handy. It would be interesting if you could buy something similar in NZ that fits our fittings. Jen (38)
571768 2007-07-23 11:46:00 It appears to be American. So is its voltage 110volt or 230volt. PJ Poppa John (284)
571769 2007-07-24 01:49:00 I'm sure I've seen them in NZ. Maybe Mitre10? Graham L (2)
571770 2007-07-24 02:30:00 I was looking for a light with an in-built motion sensor just the other week, but for an outdoor light. Didn't see anything like the one in the link but there were sensor lights with timers that could be used indoors. FoxyMX (5)
571771 2007-07-24 05:02:00 Went to Mitre 10 Mega on Lincoln Rd. They have the Arlec OYSTER STYLE DIY SECURITY LIGHT at www.arlec.com.au

But at $65.00!? And Poppa, I'm no electrics expert... 'wattage' goes over my head.

571772 2007-07-24 05:15:00 Seems a bit of a high price for that one. Ours was $85 with 25% off during a sale but it's more similar to the MAL505 BOLLARD STYLE SS HALOGEN SENSOR LIGHT, only nicer.

Have you checked out lighting shops? Remember that they have "sales" all the time if you are able to wait.

But - you are the only one that has used "wattage" in this thread?

PJ was correctly commenting that the US uses mostly 110 volts, we use 230 volts.
No talk of "wattage" in there?
Provided you don't use a lamp larger than the fixture is rated for (and it will say what it's rated for on the label) there is no need to even think about wattage. Only 230 volt equipment is allowed to be sold here.

571774 2007-07-24 08:22:00 There has been much talk over the years of such things,but still not commonplace in this neck of the woods. Cicero (40)
571775 2007-07-24 11:54:00 I beg the question,
What happens if you sit down to read a book?
