Not sure if the're everywhere at this price, but a pack of 2 halogens,
150W, 300W or 500W were 10p at the St Helens store earlier today.

Dimmable spiral CFLs for £2 as well (think they were 20W or 25W) -
supposed to work with any standard dimmer.

Small update on this, they also had a variety of kitchen cupboard
doors and drawer fronts at £1 each

They had dimmable CFLs in the sale in the Folkestone store last week.
Only the type that are dimmable with a normal switch though :-(

Any one tried the ones that work with dimmers - are they any good?
Anyone know a cheap source of decent ones (yes yes, I know - cheap and
decent...)

The one I picked up seems to vary from a yellowish hue (rather than
the ordinary tungsten filament orange) at full brightness, down to a
blueish hue at lower levels.
