In that case, it would take just over three years to recover your initial cost of £1350. Just sayin'...

The only way around this problem would be having an in line converting panel subbed of your mainline going to all the lighting outlets throughout your building. Have trustworthy fire insurance.

The glass surround is going to insulate it also. It looks pretty but any high output LED that can compare to a CFL will need more heatsinking than that has.

A 1W night light also uses less power than a fluorescent, but it's too dim to be of any use. In order for a light bulb to be of any use in lighting a room, it's going to need at least 1,000 lumens.
