If a GLS lamp says 3000 hrs you expect to get, on average

If a CFL (like the Tesco one I have here) says "lasts 8 years"
but in smaller print, and in no way referenced to the 8 years,
it says "Average use of 2.7 hours a day"
then, unless the lifetime "clock" stops when it is turned off
this is totally misleading.

As is the eco-bollox green mist brigade credo behind the whole concept ...


CFLs are fantastic ...

... for politicians who want to be seen to be doing something about
climate change, when the reality is that they are doing nothing.

But they are doing something. They have engineered a massive
recession which is the best thing by far for the environment.
