COMPACT FLOURESCENT LIGHTING

Compact flourescent lights (CFLs) have come a long way from the expensive and unattractive early designs. Miniaturisation of the technology means that any ordinary tungsten bulb can now be replaced by a CFL that looks the same but will operate at a far higher efficiency. Even ceiling recessed halogens can now be replaced by CFLs (illustrated on the left).

The CFLs for Tree House are supplied by Megaman, a pioneer in CFL miniaturisation. See www.megamanuk.com or phone 0845 408 4625.
