Wellington Space Station
A very stylish space station light fitting suitable for children. Both of the satellite 'engines' and center 'module' light up, when the light is on.
Each lamp is just 9w which is the equivalent brightness of at least 40w of standard incandescent light. This makes the Wellington Space Station more than just a novelty - it's completely suitable for everyday use to light up the room.
As all the bulbs used are dedicated low energy (you can only fit low energy bulbs) this light fitting meets part L of the building regulations. Have you ever seen a better light fitting for a child's room in your new house or renovation?

Low energy
This light fitting uses low energy L1 light bulbs. This makes it a dedicated low energy fitting so it meets the current building regulation limits for low energy lighting.
The CFL bulbs have a life time of upto 8 times more than a standard bulb; as such, they should not require changing for at least 3-5 years with normal use.
What is L1?
L1 is a new type of bulb connector. It is a special type of lamp cap that can only be used with Low Energy bulbs. This means that all L1 light fittings are dedicated low energy fittings. i.e. it is impossible to install a normal high energy incandescent bulb - you can only fit a low energy L1 bulb.
There are various designs and shapes of L1 bulbs, all of which use the latest in technology and provide innovative designs and some of the smallest sizes available today.
The special fitting uses two pins on the bulb and a third, non-metalic pin on the bulb holder. It's this third pin that prevents a non L1 bulb being used. L1 bulb holders are very safe too - because
the electrical connections are on the bulb and not in the holder, when the bulb is removed, there are no potentially live connections to touch even for the smallest of fingers.
