The MOST efficient INCANDESCENT is a bare bulb dangling on a bit f
wire. about 10W/sq meter. Any kind of mood lighting, wall lights,
standard lamps or downligheters is about 20W/sq meter.

So... I guess that to get mood lighting costs twice as much as what I've got
now. I suppose this is acceptable. What I was baulking at was using
downlighters which, on paper, appear to cost ten times more...


It appears to me that downlighters may well go the same way as laminate
flooring and date really quickly... ;-)
