Hia.

I've browsed endlessly through 40, 60, even 80w spotlight fittings (you know
the sort of things - 2, 3, maybe 4 light fittings attached to a backplate of
some kind, usually a bar) and very pretty many of them are.

But I really do need 100w lights. Does anyone know where they're hiding?

Regards.

If you mean 12V versions then some Alfa Romeo dealers have them for retrofit
after sale back to the intended bulbs.

Um, I don't think so! They're for my office...

You may be having trouble finding them as there have been changes in the
Building Regs relating to power consumption in lighting circuits.

Just a thought, but wouldn't you be better off with 12V 50W dicrhoics?
Less current, less heat, about as bright...

Yep, in my utility room! Round 3x100W R80 spots.

Ring did them, that was a few years ago though. Try looking in shops
rather than online, the internet's wank.

I think R80 spotlamps would be regarded as out of fashion currently,
which means you are more likely to find them at car boot sales than
in the stores.

It sounds like you might be trying to provide general room lighting
with spotlamps, which is normally both rather ineffective and very
inefficient. You might want to reconsider your lighting design.

What's that all about...? Wasn't aware of it?

To quote the regs:-

Internal Lighting Section L
L 1.54 Reasonable provision should be made for
dwelling occupiers to obtain the benefits of
efficient lighting. A way of showing compliance
with the requirement would be to provide at a
reasonable number of locations, where lighting
can be expected to have most use, fixed
lighting (comprising either basic lighting outlets
or complete luminaires) that only take lamps
having a luminous efficacy greater than
40 lumens per circuit-watt. Circuit-watts means
the power consumed in lighting circuits by
lamps and their associated control gear and
power factor correction equipment. Examples
of lamps that achieve this efficacy include
fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent
lamps (not GLS tungsten lamps with bayonet
cap or Edison screw bases).

Well, they were never meant to be fashionable.

I have, it's wank but my Mum wants to keep them. There's 600W in there
and they're useless, it get's a bit hot with the 4\5 PC's on as well.

Some R80s go as high as 100w, but mostly theyre 60w. R95 are 100w,
might try googling that. Theyre like R80 but a bit bigger and a bit
uglier.

I wonder why you'd need multiple 100w spots though, a special app?
Would seem more logical to keep the 60s and add more background
lighting, preferably of a more efficient kind.

Thanks team. Good stuff!
