Where can I get Energy saving bulbs more powerful than 25w for a
brighter
light ,something equivalent to 150w


What I really want is a brighter low energy lamp equivalent to 150w but not
for £8 to £20,how people can read or function with even 25w ones which are
supposed to be 150w I do not know, most in the shops are equivalent to 60
watts hardly enough to light a small room


)£(% my readings light's 5w.

Then, NT, you obviously have good eyesight. Unfortunately, not all human
beings are the same. I started a similar thread recently because,
although I consider myself to be eco-friendly and would love to do away
with my old-fashioned incandescent lamps, my faulty eyesight (and I'm
only 48 - it's gonna get worse as I get older) just cannot get to grips
with these CFLs. I need light, and lots of it - CFLs are (to me, anyway)
dim and dismal.
