[QUOTE="PaulSC, post: 181697, member: 11414"] Lillpete, When your researching, check you have the revised Part L which now has more stringent requirements. From memory, energy efficient (now 45 lumens per watt, previously 40 lumens) lamps are required in 3 out of 4 fittings, previously 1 in 4. However, the revised part L relaxed the requirement for light fittings that can only accept energy efficient fittings. I beleive you can now have a standard recessed downlight with a GU10 CFL or LED, which the customer can simply change back to halogen once your done;) As a side note, has anyone come across a PROPER alternative for 50W halogen lamps? I'm moving house and need some ideas. [/QUOTE]
