Energy Efficient
Using CFL’s means that the benefits of energy efficientlighting are available in the home. They are appropriate to areas where lights are left on for long periods of timesuch as hallways, staircases, entrances, kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms.
The most versatile option is to use a pendant or battenholder,a direct substitute for a normal BC lampholder. There is noextra installation time and is safe and easy to do.
Why use the MEMLITE BC3 range to meet
the building regulations?
� The range will accept standard UK size lampshades and require no adjustment.
� The house owner is not restricted to the wattage of lamp by the lampholder. The same MEMLITE BC3 lampholder will accept a range of wattages to suit the customers needs.
� MEMLITE BC3 offers a cost effective solution to the developer and contractor. Check out the prices.
� The range of lampholders offered meets all thenormal requirements for housing - pendant sets,battenholders and angled battenholders.
� Reduced wattage and heat generated by CFL means a wider choice of decorative lampshades for the home.

� Re-useable plug-in electronic adaptor offers the benefit of fitting standard, off the shelf, 4 pin CFL to avoid unnecessarily discarding the electronic components when eventually the lamp fails.
