I'm planning a new kitchen and bathroom, and intended embedding mini

buy energy- efficient bulbs from then on. I doubt you will find
energy-efficient mini spots (even if they exist, they will be too big to
fit in the fitting), so what happens then?

LV halogen is pretty darn efficient, totally different from your 60W
GLS that really has reached end of useful life.

CFL and CCFL may be energy efficient in consumption but really do
question embodied energy and end of life energy costs. You do get them
in MR16 size but output is less than overwhelming.

LED is catching up fast but next years will be twice as bright and
half the cost.
