I think I heard that they've got to do 'green' stuff in other ways than just handing out crap CFLs now. -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org *lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor |

writes Precisely. I have a cupboard full of 10p CFLs. Me too. But I'll never use the ****ers. Just installed a couple of wall lights with lovely energy-guzzling 40w mains mini-halogen capsule bulbs. Bugger the environment. -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

writes I use them where they're appropriate. Which is about 25% of the lights in my house. Maybe I should have said "I'll never use *all* the ****ers". But yeah, I have a couple in a fitting in a hallway behind a frosted glass shade, where they look OK, in the outside light, and in a nightlight which is on a timer from 6pm to 11pm. But there's an even simpler way of saving energy - it's called a "switch". This amazing invention allows the householder to turn off lights that they are not using. How about that for innovation?! :o) -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |
