Everywhere! This might not always be possible as there are still a few limitations to the way the systems work but we have solutions for most applications.

How do I use energy saving fittings?

A low energy light fitting is installed in exactly the same way as any other light fitting. You don't need any extra wiring or equipment.

Energy saving - electrical installation

As with all electrical work, we recommend that you employ a qualified electrician to do the installation. However, there are many cases where simply replacing the bulbs in your current fittings will make the greatest difference to your pocket

Where can I buy more efficient bulbs and fittings?

Right here! You're in the right place - you can browse our low energy products using the category pictures at the top of this page.

My Green Lighting is the UK's leading retailer of dedicated energy saving fittings.

Energy saving dimmable LED downlights

Energy saving downlights are a very popular type of light fitting. They are neat, unobtrusive and can provide a good level of light. Unfortunately they can also use a lot of electricity. Dont despair though - there are other options that are much more energy efficient.

Before you can decide on the best ways to improve the energy efficiency of your downlights, you need to know what you already have. Historically there have been 3 main types of downlight, low voltage halogen, mains voltage halogen and screw fit tungsten bulbs. The easiest way to tell which you already have is to take out one of the bulbs and have a look at the connector.

Low voltage bulbs have a push in connector, with two (usually quite sharp) pins. These bulbs run at 12 volts rather than the mains voltage of 230 volts. This means that there also has to be a transformer somewhere. Some installations have one transformer per light fitting and some other one transformer
running multiple lights.

12v isn't necessarily saving you energy

Some people incorrectly believe that low voltage is the same as low energy. It isnt. Energy is measured in watts which is what you pay for. Low voltage bulbs still run at the same number of watts as a mains voltage bulb. Remember - its the watts that count not the volts.

Mains voltage halogen bulbs, also known as GU10 have a twist and lock connector. There are two pins on the bulb with feet on them.

Main voltage bulbs are available in a variety of wattages, the most common being 20w, 35w and 50w.

The most efficient energy saving replacements for these are now LED spot bulbs, which are available in a wide range of wattages, beam angles and colours (shades of white and actual colour). Try our LED GU10 Chooser to find the right option for you and see what we currently recommend.
