Re: TCO?

Hmm...

I've just replaced four 900 lumen 50W GU10 traditional halogen spotlights with four 480 lumen 7.5W LED GU10 spotlights.

So while it seems I've approximately halved the amount of lumens I'm generating I've reduced the Watts consumed to approximately 1/6th of what it was before.

Perhaps a more 'human' observation is that the light from the LEDs is 'nicer' in terms of overall illumination and 'colour' - at least for me (when cooking) and my wife (when doing her arts and crafts) and it actually feels if we have more light in the room, not less.
