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.

So have I.

Anyone know where you can still get 100W bulbs in the shops? I could
order some on the net,
but its a bit of a pain. I won't have chance to look around locally
until Saturday.
Somehow this 100W business escaped my attention. But I'll start
stockpiling
60W bulbs, getting a few each time I go to the supermarket !
