something else nice looking (i.e. not a rectangular plastic box) ?

I've got a very long corridor using about 400W of the things and what

I'd
like to do is put sensors at each end on a couple of minutes timer to

save
them being left on all the time.



Screwfix Tlc or Toolstation do a mini round blob one that looks much
better. Replacing halogens with CFL recessed downlighters would also
save a lot.

Not quite that pretty though, is it :-)

I'm waiting on those a little longer. I believe the price should plummet
shortly so will buy them then.
