Re: Re: 100 watt light bulbs
I fit them in all properties, we simply don't put the 'big light in
the
middle', fit 2 or 3 etc.
My own house hasnt seen a filament for got to be well over 7 years, cant
remember the last time I changed a bulb. Gone is the winter ritual a
changing a few in quick succession as the dark night come. No dragging the
ladders out for the staircases.
>From a energy saving point its nuts to be buying 100w bulbs.
Ive just bought Phillips cfl's at 10 for a pound for my next project. Sent
the wife poundland or similar. Bought 150 of them.

oh get over it you bunch of bloody Luddites :P
Incandescent bulbs are old crappy technology - and the recent sets of CFL
bulbs that I have put in place are gorgeous. They come on instantly, rather
than the hideous slow start, they have a really nice pleasant light rather
than the sickly yellow...
and they are now, finally, available at decent prices.
For what it's worth, I have seen a marked improvement over the last 2 years
- I bought a couple of CFLs from IKEA and was pretty much appalled -
totally
old school, with all the usual problems.
the Phillips ones I bought last weekend on the other hand - state of the
art
11W units, so nice and bright - instant on (properly), lovely even white
colour... brilliant.
CFL is here, large EL panels in place of wallpaper are coming, so are super
brightness LEDs...
the future of lighting is (hah!) bright - but crappy old 100w bulbs are not
it.
good riddance to them!
