Small spotlights are typically used to provide more focused lighting or accent lighting. They are widely used in both of these ways commercially and domestically. You may have already been saving money and energy by using longer lasting halogen lamps to do the job. Halogen lamps are so long lasting because although they use a heated filament, unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, their tungsten filaments are regenerated , instead of being completely evaporated and deposited on he inside of the lamp. Halogens spotlights however run at higher temperatures – their filaments are close to the surface of the lamps and heir surface area is relatively small. There may however be an even better alternative spotlight lamp to these.
They need very low wattage to produce a high level of lumens output – in other words, they have very high efficacy. In fact, LED spotlights e.g. GU10 LED Spotlights, use need a lot less watts to produce the equivalent light as even their halogen counterparts.
GU10 LED spotlight have a bayonet connector – this means they they’ll match your existing fittings. 2 watt versions can decrease the running costs you’re used to by over 95%, and can give you 25 years of service! A high power version is also available, offering similar benefits, and giving you brilliant, bright, crisp, clear light that’s hard to beat.
