Energy saving light bulbs

They'd save more energy if they stopped sending me Free ones.
Got about 25 in the cuboard and 4 more have just arrived.

did you win them?
if you dont want them, send some to me then, free stuff is always good, and it would save me buying them

but.......... i dont think they last any longer than the old type

I wish I got them sent free to me I have to buy them at £2.84 a pop from asda for the decent ones.

Although if they are sending you crap ones that take 2 weeks to light 1sqm then hhaha

they'd save me even more energy swearing at the damn things if when you tuned 'em on you didn't have to wait 5 bleedin minutes before they actually emit enough light to see anything by! especially in the garage when looking for something small or trying to adjust something on the bike!

i'll hush now.

some are philips and some are "megaman"(dont like the sound of them)
most seem to be from energy companies trying to bribe me to join them

just put my light on and walked into the ********** table

See now thats why you need the ones I get from asda that are all twisted, they have a larger surface area to emit more light but are smaller in internal area so heat up quickly and produce light instantly.

Like the one below, although not identical........They also emit a relaxing natural light rather than a clinical white horrible light.



They cost £2.84 but they are worth it, ever bulb in my house is pretty much one of these.

I have a 3 storey 4 bed house with lots of lights and my Gas/Electricity bill combined is £59.50.......I just come off a fixed price tarrif and I was told it would go up as my payments were so cheap.......in reality they owe me money so my payments have remained the same and they sent me a cheque lol

wanna send them to me then, when i moved into this house it had ****ty wilko light bulbs, think i have had to replace near on them all now with some old nasty energy bulbs

It's more about how much electricity they use, rather than how long they last. It's something like, they give out the light of a normal 100W bulb but only use the electricity of an 80W bulb. Well once they are warmed up that is

Really wish they would sort out an energy bulb that works with light timer switches Only place in the house I still have an old one
