Re: 100 watt light bulbs

Take action now!

Help save the environment from poisoning with heavy metals and reject
CFLs in favour of tried and trusted incandescent bulbs.  Order a 20 year
supply from one of the online retailers that still stock 100W bulbs like
I did last year - 135 bulbs of various types and wattages and all for
under £50 :-)

BTW, the "inefficiency" argument against incandscents is just so
much
hot air; hot air that helps keep the houise warm is not wasted energy at
all.
