cheap low energy light bulbs

[pgkevet]

...was in tesco and they had a mound of them at 10p each. I've got a large house and we use them anyway but an opportunity to stock up again..

they were doin same offer not long back at asda.. how they can make a profit on that price ive no idea...

[SteveH39]

probably being supported by an energy or lighting company / old stock. Also a good loss leader to get you in the store and hope you buy something else :)

Too right :cheers2:

I hate the poxy things and so does my wife. We have some round the house but any room we actually use for anything more than watching telly or seeing a friend away to the seaside has a real Olde Worlde Incandescent Light Bulb in it ;) I just hope they get better before stocks of proper light sources run out :(

I to dislike these lights they are bright for a few days then after that they just seem to go orangey and dim, They are useless for reading writing or any sort of hobby where you need good light or any close up work, I have flourecent tubes in my shed and they are very bright and make doing jobs much easier :cheers2:

I've been using low power energy bulbs for the last ten years - may be my eyes are used to it so I've no problem [IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG] . Yep they take about 3min to get to fully brightness but that's no problem for me.

No filament light bulb lives in my house [IMG]http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/testvb/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG]
