Default Low energy lamps

At 50p each from Morrosons, I am in no hurry to waste time repairing one.


49.5p actually, if you are referring to the buy-one-get-one-free 99p
offers that come round regularly. I'm rather impressed with these
bulbs - reasonably quick to get to full output, which is pleasingly
white. Can hardly go wrong for 50p ;-)


Funny that. I recent bought a few from Morrisons. The only one used so
far has a delay in excess of 2 seconds before it shows any light at all.
By far the worst of all the low energy bulbs I have used since I
switched to low energy a decade or so ago.


A bad batch or bad leccy, perhaps ? I've not had any that have been
that sluggish, although to be fair my own reaction times may be so slow
as to render any delay unnoticeable...
