Thanks Jeffrey
I was looking for a recommendation for the 'sparks', they might be one. Odd how no mention in the spec of EMC. Seems to me I need ones that operate without any inverter.
As to 'waste' heating from conventional bulbs its not a worry to me ... small beer compared to the CH. Presumably all heat goes up there eventually from rads as well and gets circulated as it cools. And the down lights in bathroom and shower (not on much) add a little heat to the loft and the water tanks. I'm more concerned about freezing than saving a few watts. Yes, there are lights in other rooms that just 'waste' heat, 150W in the kitchen, a few watts in the dimmed lounge and floor standing spots and uplighters in the lounge. But to me its not urgent to chuck out good fittings.
