Cinnamon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 They were on BOGOF in Tesco the other week & I got a couple. They have turned out to be a right pain. They don't come on with full power right away unlike my other energy saving bulbs, so you need to turn them on about 5 mins before you need to be in the room.

That sounds like old stock Sarah I thought the newer ones came on quicker, my newer ones do. I had some old ones like that and gave them to a student so she could save a bit on her bills as I got free ones through tax credits.

Jules. Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I've not tried the bulbs yet, & probably won't until my existing enery saving bulbs pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I thought all energy-saving bulbs did that 'delayed reaction' thing! Must admit, I haven't bought any new ones/replaced any for ages, which is a good sign now I think about it - they really do last longer!
