Kitchen spotlights - energy saving replacement suggestions?

[adamholt]

Hi,

I have a centre spotlight in my kitchen with 4 bulbs (40W R50 SES's).

I want to reduce my total wattage burning and am just wondering what the best replacement would be for similar light output / less energy?

Thanks for any pointers...

Adam.

Is THIS what you're looking for.

He's probably looking for these as opposed to replacing a surface fitting for multiple recessed fittings.

Yep, Megaman are certainly the way to go. And they do nice dimmerable and dimmable versions too now.

Thanks guys - the direct replacements look like a great option.

I take it TLC is the forum's online store of choice for getting this stuff?

Be a bit wary of dimmable low energy (ie cfl) megaman lamps - they are still having some teething troubles regarding compatability with dimmers (loading) and not all will work, despite what their literature says!

spot on sparkybird.......megaman 'dimmable' CFLs are not up to it...simple as that.
