All my main room lights are on dimmer switches so do I fill my spare

You may already be too late, or you could be lucky and get some very cheap
in the 99p Shop or the clearance sections of other shops.

No you don't.

After the initial period where everybody mistakenly thought that it wasn't
allowed to sell 100W bulbs they are now easily available at a market stall
near you.

It will be ages before they run out of 60W bulbs
