Hi,
I'm in the market for an Energy Efficient wired and mains-powered Door Bell. I've had a look around on the interweb and all I can find is the usual old-fashioned stuff which appears to use a wire-wound transformer rather than modern switch-mode power supply and incandescent (often non-replaceable) bulb in the illuminate bell-push rather than LED, which would use 1/10th of the energy, too. It may be that no-one has the gumption or knowledge to know or understand the difference (we're not old grumpy, stingy old ex-engineers)... I do appreciate we are not talking a lot of energy here but bearing in mind it's on 24/7 forever I'd rather buy something whose maker has *some* sort of appreciation of the real world rather than a head-in-the-sand Victorian enterprise!
Can anyone suggest such a thing?
