Considering I had 2 very similar bulbs in my hand @€5 each, I was happy that I spotted the bargain ones at the checkout before i parted with my money. Phillips Genie WW827 11W (60W equivalent) B22 BC 10000h. 8W and 11W versions…

Cheaper in Woodies if their sale is still on, extra 20% off - 80 cents each.

Their 20% off finished on the 3rd, I got a load of these bulbs on that date and was told it was the last day!

Do they have anything other than the standard sized connection? Am looking for the "Small Edison Screw" (E14) type.

I got energy saving light bulbs in craigavon portadown a year ago for 8p each. Think they are around 50p now. Look at www.asda.com or www.tesco.com and search for light bulbs. I fitted out my house for 1 pound and still going!

I paid €4.50 the other day for a 40w philips one from tesco and it's about the best G9 bulb i've used yet, I usually just buy the cheapest but imo it's worth the extra money for a good one.

Got some in Woodies at the 20% of deal, making them 80c each.

I think they brighten up quick enough. Have them in bathrooms mostly where I like to do some reading so it is important to have a decent light.

A marketing slogan perhaps for the Philips genie
If you're having a push
And a leisurely read
A Philips genie bulb
Is surely what you need

Now, off with the Sunday paper for an hour or so.........
