Energy efficient Lighting

CFL or LED bulbs are the most efficient bulbs for lighting and use a fraction of the energy that an incandescent bulb uses to produce a similar amount of light. Although CFL can be got in low voltage variants they are generally used with mains or inverter supplies and LED lighting is used in low voltage (12v) applications.

Solarpaddy supplies 12volt 2.3 watt LED bulbs of the MR16 type. One bulb will light an average size shed or room. Led bulbs are renowned for their long life and this type emit a very warm light. A 20w panel should support at least 2 of these lights during the worst of the winter days even if left on all night and far more than that during the summer

We also supply a range of CFL bulbs from 7 to 20watts. 7 watts will illuminate a small room 11watts a medium room and 20 watts for large rooms, workspaces or open areas. These bulbs are all bayonet fittings as standard in most households and are 220 mains voltage.
