Hi, I am looking for a website (or a real place, why not) selling low-enerhy bulbs which have a small-screw cap. I think this is also called a small-Edison cap. Unfortunately I have never seen this in a shop, entierh on a web-site. I see a lot of low-energu bulb with either the bayonett or the big screw. Nothing with the small screw... Do you have an idea of where I could find this ? They have them in our local B&Q superstore. Other places such as online suppliers (RS, etc) tend to have a limited range with only low wattages available. |

Hi,
In my experience Ikea's low energy bulbs last about 5 days. This was a few years ago though. I know they're cheap but at that rate you may as well go to B&Q and spend a wee bit more.

Ikea. Yes, they have small Edison screw too. |

IME an R80 is quite a lot physically larger than an R63, and the R63 is a lot larger than the R50. :-) Hwyl!

Since the last time they have expanded their range of energy-saving bulbs. They have now nice ones which don't show the tube . I have bought some 11W ES and 7W SES bulbs (I would have preferred 9W SES though). So far I am satisfied, I have mounted them in various places of my house (now more than half of the bulb are energy-saving ones). The light seems close to daylight by the way, which personnally I like. http://tinyurl.com/hqs4 Thanks, Unfortunately the bulbs shown on this URL are those which show the fluorescent tube. They don't have a globe to hide this, like IKEA now does for their new range of energy-daving bulbs |
