What is the lowest wattage halogen bulb that is available to fit a mains downlight ? Is there one less than 35w ?
Thanks Brian

Do you mean a GU10 fitting?

20W.
If heat is a problem and price isn't, you can get LED clusters to fit.
There are some LED based ones that are of much lower wattage. I think I saw Screwfix have started to stock them
Yeah there's lots on eBay, for very little ££. Not sure how reliable they are, and I guess the light colour wouldn't be too great?

Thanks for all that info. ( It was my first post on this board )
Yes it's a G10 fitting and yes , heat is a problem. I'll look at the led type bulbs as an alternative. Brian
