When we built our kitchen 18 years ago we had 4 recessed lights in the ceiling each with a 100W bulb. Gradually as they blew over time we replaced with 60W. We tried 40W but they were too dim and for a long time we couldn't get a low energy bulb that fitted. Last year I bought some 9W LEDs on eBay from China, worked out at about £2.50 each delivered. They fitted perfectly and are giving excellent light, better than the 60W normals. We wouldn't want that brightness in other rooms but in the kitchen it is very useful. So we've gone from 400W down to 36W and we are very pleased. They look like those ones at Staples.
