Sod the environment I'm thinking of my wallet as my wife loves leaving lights on then sodding off to another room. I'm trying to change over lightbulbs as they blow, over to energy saving bulbs.
So far changing over the ones in my garage, hallways and toilets has been a success. Finding ones to fit in my living room light fittings and bedroom uplighters is a problem. I like atleast 60-100 watts of light in a bedroom.
That equates to around 15-20w energy saving. I'm struggling to find bulbs that actually will fit in a lampshade.
How am I supposed to save the environment if nothing fits?
Whats the difference between the spiral ones and straighter type?
Where are people buying their bulbs from to actually fit a lampshade?
Any help?
Also my kitchen has a row of those halogen lights 3 on a fitting. The only energy saving eqivalent to GU10's Ive found have been god ugly white ones that are massive.
I dont mind the government phasing out standard lightbulbs if they atleast provide a decent alternative
