Argos, page 159 of current catalogue (look for the "plug-in lights
explained" symbol at the foot of the page. Or www.argos.co.uk and item nos

However they are £15 more expensive than the equivalent non-plug-in fittings
(multi lamps on a single plate/bar, rather than individual recessed
downlighters).

Hi, I'm looking for advice on mains voltage halogen interior lighting.

I have a dark landing and want to replace the present single 100w bulb
with a multi head halogen unit.

A friend muttered something about fittings which fit onto the existing
wire (plug into the bulb holder??) and simplt bolt onto the ceiling.

Anyone know about this?

As this is just a case of tarting the place up, before I sell up, I
really dont want to mess about with low voltage systems.

Anyone any clues?

Mains voltage is replacing low voltage in most applications. Homebase do
not even stock low voltage lighting units any more. There are some types of
lights that are only low voltage..for now.
