lighting - building regs

[matt.leung]

it is true that all new extentions need to have low energy lighting fitted to comply with building regs, as the client has just told me about it...

he wants stotlights, LED's ant that great, and CFL seem to be dimmish...

I THINK, dont, what ever you bloody well do, quote Me on this, but I have been informed that you can use standard fittings and just have Low Energy light lamps/bulbs fitted in them.

Yes, my understanding is that three out of four have to be energy efficient, however they no longer need to only be able to take low energy lamps, you can use normal fittings with low energy lamps fitted

+1 To both of those

confirmed on my recent assessment

and, you can get good LEDs now, just the price,

But they are cheaper over the lifetime of the lamp Steps!

deffo Noz,

Im of the opinion LED is the answer, after the original outlay you have them paid for in less than a year on running costs alone, never mind the replacement rate of normal halogens.

yep 3 out of 4 now need to be low energy. standard lamps with CFL and LEDs are fine to the building regs.
