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.

One of the lamps on that page is described as an energy saver eqivalent
of a 40 watts lamp ES base R80 - can anyone tell me how this differs from an
R50 fitting type? I suppose I can't use the R80 if I have an R50 track? I've
not seen low energy R50 spots, do such things exist? Ta.

IKEA seem to be about the largest stockists of all things Edison screw.

Don't it do the same job ?

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.

Cheers,
Keith

I may be wrong, but I thought that the number after the "R" related to
the diameter of the bulb, and that on top of that there were also narrow
and wide beam variants? IME an R80 is quite a lot physically larger than
an R63, and the R63 is a lot larger than the R50.

:-)

Hwyl!

IMHE, they're up to 3 1/2 years (how long I've been in this place).
OTOH, all of the slightly larger Phillips I put in at the same time
have now failed. YMMV

They're ideal where you want just 'light' like for an outside light that's
on for long periods.
But for indoors - no way.

Thanks to all.

I just went back from Ikea Croydon. 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.

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
