Looking for recommendations on whether to use mains voltage (240v) lights
or
low voltage (12v) lights

If you must install halogen downlighters, then install LV. Mains ones are an
environmental catastrophe, whilst LV ones are only an environmental
disaster.

Christian.

same deal financially as well. Cost of fittings is generally very
small compared to run cost with multibulb halogen setups.

And if you can, put them on 2 switches so you can select 3 different
brightness levels. Much more comfortable, and costs less too.

Mains bulbs cost more, dont last as long, break more easily, and are
less efficient.
