Jon that is the same make of my halogen and mine is a 50w. I dont think there is any difference - except price - with these bulbs.
I just did a search on the internet and got mine. I also wanted a flood and not a spot - i could not find the right wattage, screw fitting and a flood at B&Q. Only a spot.
Lily likes this being on, i only have it on for 2 spells in the day - first thing till about 11.45am then at 4.00pm.
I twiddle with the timers each time the temps change outside.
I remember before Jon, you advising me about the timings and the set up!
Thanks for getting me to the place im at now!
