IKEA lighting an embarassment
IKEA are generally quite eco but with their lighting they are well behind the curve. They sell banks of 5 lamps with 35W halogen lamps built in. A lighting arrangement that uses 175W. If these GU10s were the LED kind instead they would use 1.8W each, giving a total for the 5 lamps of less than 10W, replacing halogens with a usage life of 2,500 hours with LEDs with a usage life of 50,000 hours. For a slightly brighter GU10 a CFL could be used at 7W each with a life expectancy of 8,000 hours. The price difference between these bulbs now is very little.
