My new house has a 20' x 12' kitchen with 12 x 50w MR16 halogen downlighters in the ceiling. That's a staggering 600 watts of power which no doubt helps to keep it warm in winter but does bugger all for my electric bills and the light output is terrible. The kitchen in my last house only had a single 60w flourescent tube and you could actually see what you were doing.
Suggestions please.
