Energy efficient lights?

[somuchtodo]

I am trying to reduce our carbon footprint, and know that we should all be switching to energy efficient lights, but am stumped to find attractive lights that will take these bulbs. Everything seems to have gone GU10 crazy... I know you can get more efficient GU10 bulbs, but they are longer and therefore stick out of the fitting.

Has anyone found good lighting that will take energy efficient bulbs? Especially down-lighter type fittings.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions..

I found these on google - would they not fit?

I bought some short ones from my local Morrisons the other week. They're 99p for two, made by Philips and you can get screw in ones or standard.

The Megaman range of GU10 CFLs will fit into almost all downlighters. I`ve used these in quite a few fittings now, including fixed firehood versions.

If it helps, when looking for the fittings see if the cap (part they "screw" into with cables attached) is physically fixed to the lamp case mounting or not, many are just on the fly so depth of bulb is not important, they just stick into the ceiling void more! An example of these are the standard cheapish fittings you can get online, or at b&q for a couple of quid each.
