Part L insists you install a certain proportion of low energy fittings. These are specifically designed to look as ugly as possible, not be compatible with standard lamp shades and require expensive, hideous, difficult to obtain tubes. Rather than install these, has anyone considered using some sort of current limiting devices that would enable a maximum of, say, 25W (after initial 3 minute warm up) to be used with a standard bayonet fitting, so that you can use nice looking, cheap, easy to obtain low energy light bulbs?
