Not sure about that, ISTR every time downlighters are mentioned here
there seems to be a resounding chorus of disapproval!

We have quite a few at home, fitted by yours truly at SWMBO's behest.
Personally I don't particularly like them, mainly because of the power
consumption issue

LV downlighters get better efficiency lumens per watt than line
voltage incan lamps.

If you say so; but the practicality is that they only illuminate a
downward pool of light rather than the whole room, which is why my small
bathroom needs 4 of the buggers totalling 140W, whereas a 20W CFL would
light the room more effectively, at one-seventh of the power usage.
