[can-talk] Light Globes

Dear Fellow CAN Members

I was advised by our local supermarket this morning that "normal" light
globes are being phased out in favour of curly flouro type low energy ones.
Has anyone else heard this?

 

For our historical interpretation in our historic houses, I use 75w clear
bayonet base standard light globes. I find the vagaries of the power grid
out here plays hell with them and they don't last long, so I have gone over
to the flouro ones where we have a white diffuser on the historical light
fitting (many) but I still have bedside lamps, and plain simple ORIGINAL
fittings in the ceilings in many, many places.

I would hate to have to hang ultra modern flouro globes from the old style
lights and the bedside lamps would look atrocious.

 

Any info would be much appreciated.

thanks

John
