Default Kitchen lighting question

Having some time ago fitted (5) 12v halogen downlights, I am now thinking it
may have been a mistake. Even after swapping the MR16 50W bulbs for 20W, I
feel they are a bit wasteful. I note that there are fluorescent replacement
bulbs available but are about £10 each, and I'm not sure how these would
compare in terms of light output. Bearing in mind I don't want to replace
the wooden ceiling,(which I would probably need to do in order to mask the
resultant holes if I removed the halogens) I wondered if there were any
other options I could pursue, not being totally up to speed with all the
modern developments.

Regards and thanks in advance

Pat Macguire
