Where spotlighting is concerned though then LEDs are where it's at and in particular
gu10 LED bulbs which can easily and very effectively be used in situations where down lights or track lighting would normally hold sway. The financial savings can also be quite staggering by simply targeting this type of lighting because it is so prevalent these days (a victim of its own success).

... many very good all round GLS (General Lighting Service) LED light bulbs but they all rely on clever internal trickery to disperse the light uniformly in all directions (ironically the reverse situation for halogen spotlights that require parabolic reflectors to try and focus the light into one direction).

And the way fuel prices keep heading on up, it will just keep getting ever more expensive the longer you stick to your old ways.
These days an LED
gu10 lamp equivalent to 50 watts brightness will cost somewhere around £14 while the regular halogen version is more like £2. But whereas you will doing well to get 2,000 hours out of the halogen lamp, the LED should sail past 20,000 hours with no trouble at all. So just on purchase costs ...

This is not just because it's a "green" issue (the original justification for the ban was to tackle global warming), but because sticking with this outdated technology is costing you a great deal of money. And the way fuel prices keep heading on up, it will just keep getting ever more expensive the longer you stick to your old ways.

With an LED, pretty much all the light is heading in one direction, which helps explain why this reasonably priced 6W LED that delivers 360 lumens appears remarkably close to a 50 watt halogen that notionally outputs some 800+ lumens. The photograph below shows a 50W
gu10 on the left and this particular 6W LED
gu10 on the right - make your own mind up, but there's no escaping the fact that the LED is using nearly one tenth the amount of electricity to create pretty much the same amount of light.
So LEDs consume an order of magnitude less electricity and are arguably the most ...

One of the more interesting all purpose GLS LED light bulbs available to consumers is this Ledzworld 6.5W Osram Dimmable GLS LED. Perhaps not a name you're familiar with, but there you go.
Ledzworld also make arguably one of the best
gu10 LED bulbs currently available for domestic use (which like this bulb is also dimmable).
The shot on the left shows a Ledzworld 6.5W Dimmable LED Bulb and on the right a regular 60W incandescent light bulb. There is a difference but not much of one - ...
... The manufacturer’s own product spec is here and interestingly they claim energy savings of 90%.
