I have 9 x 50w 12v halogens in my place and wondered about the possibility of replacing them with a more energy efficient LED version.
Here are the lamps. I currently use http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Lig...en+Lamp+MR16+50w+10+8000cd/d220/sd3278/p17461
First question is will an LED alternative be as bright as these? I've tried the lower wattage in the kitchen in the past and frankly it's awful and not light enough.
Secondly the LED seem bloody expensive at around £20 a pop here. http://www.energybulbs.co.uk/led+light+bulbs/mr16+led+bulbs/high+output+mr16+leds
Is this right or am I looking in the wrong place?
I'm a total beginner on all electrics so apologies if any of that is blindingly obvious
