9W CFL Candle Bulb v 40W Incandescent
I thought I ought to try out CFLs in the lounge candle fittings.
Today I bought a 9W lamp from B&Q and put it into a fitting which also has a standard 40W opal lamp in the other holder. Both have shades. Immediately after switch on there was a very noticeable difference, however after about 90 seconds the brightness was comparable. I will see how long it takes for the family to comment! -- John Alexander, Remove NOSPAM if replying by e-mail |
