Why the gap is so big

A halogen downlight pushes most of its energy out as heat, not light. That heat also works against you in summer. An LED globe makes the same light for a fraction of the watts, and runs cool.

Because downlights are usually installed in multiples and run during evenings, small per-globe savings multiply quickly across a whole ceiling. Swap twelve 35W halogens for 9W LEDs and you have taken hundreds of watts out of your evening load.

If your globes are hard to reach or your fittings need checking for compatibility, that's a straightforward job: I can swap them, check the fittings, and leave you with even, efficient light. Get in touch for a free quote.
