Re: New bulbs.

I have used low energy bulbs since 1991. Then they were VERY expensive and took a while to get to full brilliance. On moving house 4 years ago I left them behind and I bought new stock.I am glad to say (I retyped 'delighted') that the technology had improved and the prices have come down, and they are available in all sizes except pygmy size (YES - even candle and small globe size!!!) It is worth the (now small) extra cost just to not need to keep changing a bulb. I have daylight spectrum bulbs in ceiling fittings to kid my brain that its Summer during long winter dark days and have to revert to the ordinary (non daylight) spectrum lights in table lamps in the evenings to convince my brain that it is not 12noon on a midsummer day when it is acually bedtime. I wouldnt be without them - what surprises me is that people dont want to lose the old tungsten bulbs - Perhaps the few that they have tried are the original old(er) bulky types which came out originally.
Try the latest tech ones and Im sure you will be 'converted'
