Am I missing something? Why don't you just replace them with "energy

You're having a laugh.


The manufacturers got me with that con too. 20W energy saving bulbs are
crap - at least in terms of amount and "quality" of light. I've also had
such bulbs fail after a few weeks, they are also temperamental in my
cold garage and workshop. Not impressed. So I've stocked up on 100 watt
incandescent bulbs and have enough to last for several years, or until
the manufacturers turn out a decent alternative at a reasonable price.
