owm 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 That is a very nice design there. Have not used this light but have used similar halogen lights from Ikea and two things I have realized:1. It does run hot so unless the light is positioned high and the room is air-conditioned, you will feel it especially if you sit under it2. Halogen bulb lifespan seems to fall far behind that of fluorescent (all types). Of course a reputable brand plays a part tooI really don't think using such lights will have a huge impact on electricity bill. The greatest consumers are still the fridge, air con and washing machine followed by computer/electronic appliances. Keeping these items off when not in use (not standby) and maintaining them properly will be more useful in controlling the monthly electrical expense.hi guys!what do you guys think of Ikea ceiling lights like the Fuga http://www.ikea.com.sg/products/product_display.asp?id=1453anyone using similar lighting, would love to hear your feedback! is it too hot, or too expensive to run every day?thx!
