Dimmable energy saving bulbs.

[flobadob]

Does anyone know where I can get some energy saving dimmable bulbs that gaive off a nice light, like the Philips ones? I bought bulbs on ebay before(not dimmable though) but the light they gave off was like something out of a hospital.

Are you referring to the Phillips EcoClassic bulbs? I use these and find the light OK

Your nearest Maplin store will have what you're looking for:

Alternatively, try BHS. (They always stock a wide range of bulbs).

Otherwise any decent specialist lighting shop should sell them.

Holy $£%"£%, they are taking the pea there. £10 for a bulb. I would be thinking of getting 4. I think I'll go on killing the planet for another while in that case. Thanks for the responses though. I'm away for a drink. Oh I'm all flustered.

s'alright...the energy saving ones kill the planet in a different way - don't feel too guilty! personally, i couldn't give a toss...i have other things to worry about x

If you think a tenner is dear, avoid Philips products!

Can't get that link to work chris, though that is probably for the best. I picked up loads of Philips energy savers cheap in Argos over the last couple of years, though they are not dimmable. Why would anyone spend £10 on a bulb, surely you will never make the savings on energy that you outlay on the bulb itself. there is no incentive at all.

Don't forget dlobadob energy saving bulbs contain mercury and have to be disposed at your local recycling tip.
