What would be the equivalent incandescent wattage of the bulb?

100w

 

[Edrof]

Blimey, pretend enthusiasm for light bulbs...

 

[Stumble Bum]

comparing these to 100W bulbs is sooooo 1998. most people have v.cheap / free energy saving light bulbs that are very low Wattage. These bulbs really aren't worth their price at the moment.

Stick to what you know best OCUK.

100w

Then you woke up from that dream, these things are a poor 60w.

Dear god thats scraping the barrel, stick to computers.

Yup, I've got £3 Philips energy savers that are now over six years old. This just does not compute.

OcUK what is happening? Lightbulbs... Whatever next! No offence guys but stick to what you're already good at!

 

[Cosimo]

Are the bulbs compatible with dimming light switches?

Toasters!

To fit my house (which is a pretty modest student house) with these would cost about £260

 

[Danthus]

£700 per year saving, the UK average electricity bill is circa £1200 per year? Come on now!

To be honest they seem like a great idea, good to save money where you can. Much better than the normal energy saving bulbs I must say.

Really? Or are you just saying that? You can get a normal bulb for pennies. If you need to buy ten of these to kit out your house, how long would it take you to save £220 in electricity? 115 days according to OP, but that's based on numbers I simply don't believe.

According to http://www.electricityprices.org.uk/average-electricity-bill/, the average annual electricity bill in the UK is £1,127.

This means I could cut my bill by more than 60% by using these bulbs, when lighting probably only makes up a very small % of that bill in the first place.

£330 for a bulb in each room not including the strip light in the kitchen

Hey guys,

Want to save money? Upgrade your home lighting to LED technology. There is an inital cost involved, however the average home can ave around £700 per year on their electric bills with these fully kitted out. These bulbs have a rated life-span of over 15 years.

LOL, just LOL...."ave" £700 per month! Give me a break. What's next?

Get a clue! I doubt I spend £700 a year on lighting lmao!!!

I'd like to know this as well, I've just asked the question in the other thread.

In the post you quoted it even says per year .

 

[edscdk]

£22 for ONE bulb?!

You'd need to spend about £800 to fit an entire house out with these!

depends on how long they last, I expect led will last years and not break after a few months like normal energy saving bulbs

But you'll save £700 per year!!!!!!!

 

[Edrof]

OCUK, if you're gonna branch out then please start selling Airsoft guns. That is all.

My bad..but even per year as the OP states! Ridiculous figures regardless.

 

[House]

I have some halogens in my kitchen back at home that last about 5 mins and are the only none energy saving bulbs in my house.
The LED equivalents were around £20 each and TBH they are so dim they arent worth having. not sure about these types though.

Out of intrest did somebody get the PO for some Case lights wrong and now your stuck with a load of these or is OCUK branching out into even more fields?
