We don't sell the tiny solderable LEDs. We deal mostly with 230 volts, plus the 12 volts halogen but we don't sell electronics. The local electronics store does but I'm no good at soldering.

A couple of weeks ago we got some flat and square light fixtures with a CFL in it, that would have been ideal. But my father send them back because the type of CFL needed isn't available in the Netherlands. I found one light fixture I might be able to use, but I'll have to make a call to ask if it's got a closed or an open back.

It's very frustrating because Dick Blick's got them from around $20, but that 110/115 volts.

I'm now checking if Amazon UK's got something, then I only need to put a Dutch plug on it.
