Low Energy Lighting for Kitchen

[welsford46]

Hi everyone

I'm about to have a new kitchen breakfast room built and need some help in sorting the lighting.

I want energy effecient but excellent lighting.

Has anyone used these low energy GU10 lamps in replacement of the standard spot lights?

Or any other suggestions of what gives effecient good light.

ive got 48 led gu10's in my kitchen . they give off a white light and are nearly as bright as 50w halogens they replaced, beam width a bit narrower .

Do you mean 48 fittings with LED lamps, or several fittings with lamps containing 48 LEDs in each?

each lamp has 48 led's in it .

A couple of 1500 fluorescent tubes will give you plenty of light, and its low energy

Sounds good - where did you get them from?

Be warned, LED light isn't to everyone's taste

i got them from ebay from a japanese seller , about eight quid each and they give off a white light . the ones ive tried from uk sellers have had a bluish light .
