Today, ****ed off with the gloom emitted by CFLs, I did a test replacing

downlighters with halogen and LED bulbs.



I didn't hold out much hope for the LEDs, 3W as replacements for 14W CFL in

a fitting that used to provide good light with a 25W E25 reflector bulb.

The halogens were 20W.



Best bulb of the lot the 3W 16 x LED. Really bright. Good light dispersion

and a revelation after the poxy CFL. That's nailed the coffin on the CFLs,

living room now brightly lit with just 12W instead of inadequately lit with

56W of CFL.



Anyone who bangs on at me about how great CFLs are in future will leave

with one stuck up his arse.

So you didnt use enough wattage, and theyre all bad because of that. I'm totally convinced.
