Energy efficient lights such as CFLs and new generation halogen bulbs are a more environmentally friendly option than old-style light bulbs.
Spotlighting options
Used to create accent light on feature items and for vertical illumination.
| Type of light | Distribution | Effect | Application |
| Narrow beam
|
Conical or square beam with an angle of 12 degrees or less. | Small focused area of illumination creating strong contrasts with the lit object and its surroundings. | For accenting items within a 2 metre radius of the spotlight. Ideal for highlighting small important objects. |
 Medium beam |
Conical or square beam with an angle between 12-38 degrees. | Focused area of illumination creating accent on the lit object. | For accenting larger objects or surfaces, such as kitchen surfaces and artwork. |
 Wide beam |
Conical or square beam with an angle of 38 degrees or more. | Large general illumination effects that can be adjusted from a fixed location. | For adjustable vertical illumination where maximum adjustability is required. Also great for wall washing, but don’t locate the fitting more than a metre away from the lit object or surface. |
