However, I have purchased a number of different lamps to try in the fittings.
They were ordered over the internet. They fall in to 3 classes:
Compact florescent:
- This is the technology of the ‘low energy’ light bulb.
- The package was 5 cm longer than the light fitting.
- They were rated at about 7 watts.
- They were not focused and did not seem very efficient.
- This is the technology of the ‘neon’ sign.
- A little more efficient than the CF and slightly more focussed, but still in a package that sticks out of the fitting.
- These come with 15 to 35 little bulbs, packages in the same fitting as the 50w halogen spot, but only rated at 2 to 4 watts.
- They provide a tight beam.
- They are 2 to 4 time more efficient than the CF and 3 times more efficient than the halogen, but the low power means that they only provide a 15% of the light.
- They do have a significantly longer life.
Here are some of the suppliers I tried:
- www.initiallights.co.uk, (Brilux V Series 4 Watt and Brilux M Series 3 watt.)
- www.ultraleds.co.uk, (48 Day Light White leds)
- www.ricamstore.co.uk
- www.led-lightbulbs.co.uk
- www.lighting-direct.co.uk

one of my favorite suppliers is HIDS4U, they provide quality HID conversion kit at such a low cost considering the wonderful quality.. I have no regrets in purchasing from them.
