Hi all,

I have just built myself a kitchen extension so have a blank canvas so o speak hen it comes to downlighting.
I will be having installed a series of LED downlights and I am looking for advice on weather to install low voltage unit or mains voltage units.
I am aware of the excellent energy efficiency of the LED's and the cost involved in initially purchasing them, but that's about all I know.
The ceiling they are being installed in has 125mm of kingspan which will be cut out around he light but should any heat output be a concern? And am I correct in saying the LED's don't put out as much heat as the halogens?

And lastly, the LED bulbs seem to vary massively in cost, so any good value for performance bulb recommendations would be appreciated.

Cheers

Allan
