Absolutely, we're about to use a 5watt LED's in our shops instead of the 50w normal spots. They also have a life of 30,000 hours rather than 5minutes.

They obviously cost more intially but the payback can be in months!!

Edited to say theyre a perfect replacement for kitchen spot lights.
I'd like to know more about this. Do you mean just replacing the bulbs or changing the actual fittings? Where would I get them?

We have halogens in the hall, bathroom, lounge and dining room but I've never figured out if they are good or bad power-wise.
