Don't have a clue about electrics!

They say "Low energy lamps available for this" - does this mean I can put LEDs in it?

Would prefer a warm white, believe it needs to be 2700 - 3600K?

E27 is a standard screw-in bulb, you can get LED versions of it easily enough.

Hi Steve

I'm finding it hard to determine if lights are low energy of not...most websites descriptions of lights/lamps they sell is teriible!

Would these two support LEDs?

I'm looking for a stainless stell up/down lighters like these that give off a decent bit of light.

Steve

The fittings you linked use GU10 lamps. You can get these in LED easily enough. 6W LED ~= 50W halogen .

Steve

Something like this would work:

So that will support up to a max of about 6w LED?

Steve

No, what I'm saying is buy the light fitting you want that looks good / suits your needs. If it comes with halogen bulbs, take them out, bin them, and fit the LED ones.

Any fitting that will take GU10 halogen bulbs will take the LED replacements.

The only issue you will have is if you want to use a dimmer - then you need dimmable LED's and a dimmer switch that is suitable. For on/off light, use the bulb I linked to or an equivalent

I got an email from I'm them with quote and they quoted €98 for each recommended lamp! Are they for real? Didn't say what the lamp was

Help us to help you. You are not very clear - you got an email from whom? The lamps you linked to above had prices on them. As Steve said above, buy the fitting; bin the bulbs and replace with LED bulbs. A LED replacement bulb costs no more than a fiver.

Well if they find some willing to pay €150 for that lamp then why not chance getting another €98 for €15 worth of bulbs

OP just buy the light and then bring it into a hardware shop and pick up some LED bulbs for it

I'd be surprised if IKEA didn't have a bulb

Or even the whole thing

Lidl are selling the nice filament style E27 bulbs for €4.99 in their specials. Saw them in store today
