Hi ianthy Bulb no. 1 is a halogen lamp and bulb no. 2 is an LED lamp. LED lamps require much less energy to run compared with halogen bulbs, are more eco friendly and last much longer. Average life of bulb no. 1 is around 3,000 hours compared with the LED bulb no. 2 which has an average life of 35,000 hours. However, as you have discovered, LEDs are more expensive at the outset. Depending on how many you need for your project and if budget will allow, I would recommend going for the LEDs as you'll make your money back over time by saving on energy bills. Some say halogen lamps look better and have a more attractive light but LEDs have come a long way and I think they're now very similar. Just check what type of light you're getting. Cool white is quite bright and blueish while warm white will have a slightly golden hint. Hope this helps! Jennifer

Can the Alix Chandelier be used with 24 E14 4Watt LED bulbs, which would give a total of 96 Watts for the light?

It’s nice especially in the winter months to have a background light left on in the kitchen. I have under cabinet wall lighting on only 2 long wall display units as they’re the only wall units I have as most of my storage is in a tall bank of units. I’m sure mine are self adhesive and definitely work from a small transformer. Photo below shows a close up of them But you can’t actually see that bit
