Halogen downlights draw 50W each — a 20-light kitchen-living area is 1kW just on lights. LED equivalents draw 5–7W with the same lumen output. The payback is fast and the lights run cool.
What we do
Survey existing fittings, supply matched-colour LED replacements (we use 3000K warm-white for living spaces and 4000K for kitchens), fit and dispose of old halogens.
