Low-cost, low wattage, energy-saving lamps at Aldi soon
Very low prices! I thought I did well last year buying elsewhere at £2.00
each, but now cheaper still.... http://www.aldi.co.uk/special_buys/product_634.html |

I'm the curious sort and got one. I wouldnt use them for any purpose. Theyre 6800k, which is more hideous, and lumen output starts low and drops off very badly over the year. The 11w lamp ended up with about the lumen output of a 3 watter. I heard mention of asda doing them for around 50p too, but I dont know. Everything depends on quality with cfls, some really are not worth having. NT |

BTW; I got a nice 12" globe at Lidl for less than a tenner. A little too low power for a useful light at the computer. But just what every budding weatherlawyer needs. What got me was that I was going to but a smaller one at a stationers for nearly twice the price. |

I bought loads last time they had the offer. Colour temp is good, and start is as near instant as any CFL I've seen. -- steve |
