R50 low energy lamp
Posted on December 19, 2005 @ 3:20 pm [Comments (0)]

R50s are little filament spot lights that are used for accent lighting, frequently used in pubs and hotels. they are only two inches across the front and are quite delicate. they have always caused problems because they do not last very long but there has not been a viable alternative.
There is now! Megaman have introduced a superb version of this lamp which performs brilliantly, gives the right amount of light and reduces energy consumption by a massive amount.
They come in 7 watt, which is about 35 watt equivalent and a 9 watt that is a 40 watt replacement.
We have run decent trials on them and they are looking very good.
Megaman lamps are not cheap but they have established a reputation for quality and reliabiltiy that is growing daily, try some if you use normal R50 small spots and you will not be dissapointed.

Festoon lights.

We have sold out of festoons and won’t be able to get any more until January. We suddenly had a rush of orders,
We didn’t stock that many as they are quite expensive because they are good quality but we would rather sell fewer good quality items than lots of cheap and nasty.

R64 low energy spotlight lamp
Posted on December 14, 2005 @ 4:38 pm [Comments (0)]

I have one of the new R64 low energy spotlight in my desk lamp in the office and I have to admit it is stunning, the light output is at least the same as the filament lamp I used to use.
They do take a while to warm up only a few seconds and they do seem to get faster with use.
11 watts instead of sixty watts and a 15000 hour life it has got to be good news,.
We are finding the Megaman products very reliable, they are not cheap but they are good value.

Floodlights for Christmas.
Posted on December 5, 2005 @ 5:01 pm [Comments (0)]

In the last entry we were commenting that no one is buying christmas lights this year, but we are selling load and loads of the compact metal halide flood lights fitted wtih coloured lamps so perhaps this is what people are doing this year, light up the whole house, hotel or whatever.
So it looks like it will still be a colourful Christmas after all.

A very stange Christmas season, we are selling very few coloured lights, normaly this is the silly season for coloured lamps but this year it just hasn’t happened, we are not alone either one of the major factories called begging us to order some coloured lamps as they were in the same boat.
Anyone have any idea why this may be ?
