I wouldn't want to have to reply on receiving bulbs by post, packed and
sent by some dodgy eBay geezer.


Thanks.

Well, I bought 100 60W pearl bulbs of a reputable brand from an eBay
seller a few months ago, and they arrived intact and well-packed. Come
to think of it, if the dealine is that close for frosted bulbs I need
to order some more, to make sure I have a lifetime's supply.

Whereas twelve 12kh CFL's running 8 hours a day would probably see you
out.

But leave him with ****ed eyesight and raging headaches.


CFL are high frequency now, they dont flicker at 100Hz like long
striplights.
