Light Bulbs

[drplokta]

I'm delighted to discover that GE have finally figured out how to make a fluorescent low-energy light bulb the same size as an incandescent, so that it will fit in the same light-shades. Now if they can just sort out the warm-up time, the harsh spectrum, the inability to use them with dimmers and the inability to activate light-sensitive devices, the government's stated aim of banning incandescents might start to look remotely possible.

I've switched to battery powered LED lighting for cupboards. It's instant on, and works very well, and a set of 1.5V batteries lasts for a lot longer than you'd expect.

Yeah - me too. Very handy they are too.
