What I'm saying in both cases is the commercial realities get in the way, an eco light bulb is a fantastic innovation, but people don't care enough to fit them in their houses. |
I think that's a little unfair. They [i]are[/i} expensive, and quite a number of them don't seem to be very good: they take ages to warm up to any sort of light, and even when they do, it's still quite poor; they're usually bigger (some a lot bigger) than a normal bulb, which means they won't fit some light fittings; and the early ones at least used to blow after a very short life, and when you consider they were costing 6/7 quid, you can't really blame people for not trying them again.
I have tried several different types, and I'm sorry, but I just can't hack the crap light that they all seem to give out., perhaps because I have bad sight anyway, but I get eyestrain and headaches after a very short while. Most of my lights are now halogen, and as they're only 20/30 watt, I think that's still doing my bit. |
