Light up your life!

I think even this is a flawed estimate. I don't think you'd save anywhere near £130 off of your ENTIRE electricity bill with these. I was thinking you'd probably save about 20% off you LIGHTING bill over conventional energy saving bulbs.

Which means if your entire yearly bill is £1200, and 12.5% of this is lighting this works out as £150 a year for lighting. Then if you're saving about 20% of your lighting bill with these LED bulbs that means you save around £30 a year. "Great!" you think. Then you remember you spent £800 fitting out your house with these and it's going to take the next 26.6 years to break even.

Wat. Say your normal bulbs are 100w these are 4.5w.

The light stream is very directional with these.

ANother problem. If you look at the picture of the bult there is no light coming out above the horizontal therefore in a table lamp with the bulb mounted upwards, no light would be projected downwards.

What's the lumen rating? (5w = 360lumem = 60w equivalent). Are they even really 60w equivalent at 4.5w if so then £21 is insane. £13 max tbh.

Ocuk state they are equivalent of a 100W bulb.

Still, most people have 60W bulbs so a bit strange to only have 100W bulbs for sale????

No one who is interested in saving money still has 100w bulbs. For a start, if they were interested in saving money, they wouldn't be buying £22 bulbs would they?

Most energy saving bulbs are about 12-15W IIRC and you can get them for free.

EDIT: Nope actually, the ones Philips were giving out for free at Sainsbury's were 11W

I wouldn't trust DPD to deliver an Iron bar with a "fragile" sticker on it - there's no chance those monkeys are going to deliver any of these in one piece!
 
Best thing you can do is sell these cheap as a job lot on ebay.

Dont worry iv had a few of these fails, it dont hurt for long.
 
Aparently you can't judge led bulbs by lumens or light meters aparantly............

Ever heard of the S/P factor? Lumens are measured with a light meter that measures the equivalent of daylight. The human eye is very intricate and separates the way we see in sunlight and in moonlight. Our Photopic and Scotopic vision. LED light focuses on those wave lengths that stimulate our vision. The P/S factor is roughly 2.2. In other words a 350 LED lumen output is roughly the equivalent of 770 lumen generated by an incandescent lamp. So a 350 lumen LED is the equivalent of a 60W incandescent lamp
