Doncaster's B&Q has just had a bit of a revamp on the lighting dept.
They now have about 30 feet of halogen spots, upwards of 100 fittings, all fitted with halogen lamps.
Previously they were fitted with cheap LEDs, with a sign up saying "LED lamps used for display purposes only". What a vast waste of energy this is. There should be some kind of customer control over when the lights are illuminated - just like they had on the fan display.
Their range of recessed downlighters are now in the dark, again, previously they were fitted with LEDs.
They STILL dont have a good range of low energy PL downlights.
Though their "mix n match" range of downlights is a good idea - you can choose a lamp and lampholder package (range includes a few LEDs, cheap and expensive, and CFLs), and a seperate surround and clips.
IMO they should double the price of their halogen lamps, and half the price of the LEDs.
My mum bought an LED lamp and I rigged it up for her to try (she's doing her bathroom up and wants low energy but modern lights). We were impressed by it. She's going to have 6 of these, total 18 watts
