  • Why are low energy lightbulbs so awful?
    These ones are supposed to be equivalent to 100w bulbs, but the room has turned into a gloomy pit of despair and I can't see to read.

    Because they lie to you about so-called equivalence in order to flatter the energy saving claims. I've put 30W Daylight (6400K) spiral compact fluorescent lamps in the parents' living rooms, which are excellent. The packaging on 18W Warm White (3500K) lamps claiming equivalence to 100W incandescent lamps is, frankly, bollocks.

    Got ours here, although they are widely available for a bit less now
