Energy saving bulbs

[carlton23]

What ESB gives off the highest light for the living room? tia

[deggers316]

weird question?
the one with the biggest wattage?
you can get this type equivalent to 150 watt which is the highest ive seen these, i have two, hard to find and around £6 each but they are bright

CFLs are available (bayonet fitting if needed) at 35w (150w equivalent) and even 46w (200w). Bright enough?

For good quality CFL Bulbs look out for the Energy Saving Logo, because of large range available there is good and bad

[TOWIE]

I've never found one yet that is the equivalent to a normal light bulb. In fact there was a study done recently, which said that energy saving bulbs give some people headaches because of the dim lighting they give off, making a strain on the eyes. Morning Redman (:o)) xx

November's Which? (published 20 October 2011) has a report on these, and it confirms what redman has said- there are some very good CFLs and some terrible ones. Worth waiting for their Best Buys, since these lamps can be pricey.

So nice to see you again as I often thought about you and the sad time you have recently had. Always hoped you would return one day when you felt the time was right.
Hope you are OK these days and being positive with your life
Apologies to carlton23 for deviating !

Apologies to carlton for chatting on his thread.

I missed my banter with you and Sqad, and a few others. I am still not up to speed on the emotional or health front, but am getting there. xx

[redman41]

You are a respected member of AB TOWIE and many will be pleased that you are making the effort to try and restore some degree of normality back into your life.
It takes time and I and others will wish you well always !! xx

No need to apoligise Towie, glad to be of service, as they say. Welcome back Red.
