"To be honest I did not notice it was changing at first, just knew something was different about the room. Its on a remote control too. I think he has too much time on his hands" I've one of these in the bathroom. It's utterly useless. The early morning half light is brighter. But, when you're in the bath with thr colour phase mode on its just fabulous. | |||

"I remember when turning on the bedroom light used to make me squint first thing in the morning. Now with these shitty energy saving bulbs it hardly makes a difference. Do my head in! Anyone got a stash of traditional 100 watters they don't want!?" I'm with you on that, you need to turn the light on a fortnight before you need it ![]() | |||

That said the lamps available from any supermarket are nothing like you describe. Simply do some research add pay a couple of quid for your lamps and they will give plenty instant light. | |||

"Lakeland are doing a discoball light bulb ![]() I saw one in Portugal that lit up the ceiling like a mirrorball & so wanted to buy it but was a screw-in fitting (& I don't have screw-in lamps). I may have to look up the Lakeland website. | |||

"Mr has got a fixation with light bulks this weekend. He bought one which changes colour every three seconds and has installed it as our main bedroom bulb - so its too dark for me to see anything when I get up. Now he has changed the hallway light bulk for a 100 watt one with no shade. I am flummoxed ....." Don't let him find out about Philips Hue bulbs. Change colours, can be turned on and off remotely and can also respond to triggers like text messages coming in can make them flash a particular color. | |||

"They are on our list for home base tomorrow, unless there is going to be an impromptu Croydon Ikea meet?? The one we had was burning funny, massive flame, something wrong with the wick, which set the fire alarm off ... hence the need for the 100watt bulb, so we need a few new ones." Well I was told my uncle painted a lightbulb _ed back in the 1970's, must have wanted it to look groooovy maaaaan, only when it got hot the paint melted, dripped and burnt a hole in the carpet. ![]() | |||

"Maybe its an area of growth for new products, with the festive season coming up .... Mr is bemused to all the attention this morning. He does not come on the forums ...." Smart lighting is the way forward. Smart bulbs like the Hue and Wemo ones aren't cheap but you can integrate them into home automation systems like Smartthings very easily. But it's probably too geeky a subject for a chilly Sunday afternoon. Time to find food I think! ![]() | |||

"How on earth a bulb half made of plastic and filled with fluorescent powder is better for the environment god only knows. It probably takes more energy to produce one "energy saving" light bulb than a standard edison type would ever use. " Energy saving bulbs are on the way out I think. Led is def the way forward. They use less power and don't need the silly warm up that energy saving bulbs need. The Poundland ones are pretty good light wise they are definitely better than the energy savers o had in before. Time will tell whether they last as long add they claim to. | |||

"Bump. For a poster on another thread, so you can see my light bulb thread .... Our fancy light bulb has been requisitioned by the seventeen year old so I have bought some battery operated candles instead .... not sure if these are a good idea, but they have been sitting boxed on the stairs for almost a week. " I went on a buying spree lately. I now have voice activated lighting as well. Pressing buttons is so yesterday! ![]() | |||
