Hahaha! EU now to ban energy saving lightbulbs...?

The ones I have are quick, as quick as a normal bulb and the light is good.

I do agree that on balance the olde bulbs gave off a better light but LED is coming down in price.

LED spotlights (like the halogen spot lights with 20W and GU4 socket) already are available in similiar brightness and light colour like said halogen spots, I saw earlier this year in an electronic shops. But 30 bucks for one piece simply is too expensive. But i have good hopes for the future.

I run two energy savers in hidden lamps where their inferior light quality is not noticable, all other lamps here are 35% energy-reduced halogen lamps. Halogen is okay. Ordinary classic light bulbs I do not have in use since many years - long before the ban started in the EU. I use many dimmers, too.
