I see a few places are stocking 100W incandescent bulbs again.

I thought they had been banned under EU regs.

Personally I welcome them. They are brighter than their
"equivalents". Instant on, and a hell of a lot cheaper now the
subsidies have rendered the so called more efficient lamps so
expensive. HN

Get an LED lamp and stop using the CFL ****. Instant on, 50,000 hour
life, bright, any tone of white you want, virtually no heat produced,
virtually no electricity used.

In your dreams.

In my house. I bought a load direct from the manufacturer in Hong Kong.
£5 each including postage. They're brighter than the 50W halogen spots I
replaced them with, I'd estimate about 75W. They consume 6.5W (I measured
it).


What make specifically (or a link to your supplier) - and have you any idea
of lifetime yet?

Bought on 15th November last year, used a lot since then as this room has pathetic natural light so I use them all day, still going strong. They have a 5 year warranty.

They took 4 days to arrive from China (I miss-remembered it as Hong Kong).

This is the supplier - he says he's the manufacturer:

Times are tough.
Just the other day, I saw a beggar who was so broke that he was standing on the corner shouting at the cars that went by.
He was shouting, "WILL WORK FOR CARDBOARD AND A MAGIC MARKER!"
