Putting in halogen bulbs with lower wattage would be much more efficient if available.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind in four years time!

To be honest, I don't really care about the consumption of electricity used by halogen lights, my monthly electric bills are not high. They look amazing when dimmed and really create a beautiful, relaxed feel within the room. They are much nicer to come home to that those awful Thai bulbs that glare down on you with the ferociousness of a search and recovery helicopter when switched on...
