Energy-efficient lamps/bulbs - Introduction

Energy-efficient bulbs are known as Compact Fluorescent Lamps, or CFLs for short.

As well as being energy-efficient, these bulbs have a long-life, come on within one second, and will quickly reach full brightness. They can have a bayonet or screw fitting, or a pin base (used by light fittings designed for use with fluorescent bulbs). They are also available in many shapes, sizes and wattages:

• twin-tube
• triple-loop
• spiral
• candle

and traditional bulb shape.

Lampholder Lighting Products

The Lampholder 2000 lighting range takes CFLs with a 4-pin base in either 10, 13 or 18 watts. 10 and 13 watt bulbs are interchangeable, but 18watt bulbs are not.

All our decorative lighting comes supplied with a free CFL bulb in warm white (colour 827). While our pendants and battenholders can be ordered without CFL, it saves time and trouble to order them with a CFL bulb.
