Low energy downlights

Dedicated low energy downlighers are the most efficient downlight option that will actually produce enough light to light a room with without costing a fortune to buy in the first place. They use compact fluorescent bulbs which produce a lot of light, and also have a very wide beam angle. This means you save money on your electricity bill, and get a better spread of light in your room.

A big advantage is that low energy downlight bulbs will last for many thousands more hours than a halogen bulb, so you have to buy a lot less replacements for your downlighters!

Why should I use low energy lighting?

If for no other reason, you should use low energy lighting to save money. Electricity is expensive and you pay for the amount that you use, so if you use less you pay less - it's that simple!

By using less electricity the power stations have to generate less, so they burn less coal and gas and so release less carbon into the atmosphere - this has to be a good thing.

If you're building a new home, or extending your an exiting one, you are likely to be required to install low energy lighting.

Remember, Low voltage lighting is not the same as low energy lighting. Please read this article explaining why low voltage lighting is not low energy lighting.
