    Whats the best place to get energy saving lightbulbs? The general price seems to be between €9 and €10 per bulb.

    Is there anywhere that can do better than that?

    Heatons are €4 each for the 18 or maybe 20W (equiv to 100W).

    Tesco have a 3 pack of the 11W for €8.99 (equiv to 60W I think).

    I bought a 6 pack in B & Q for €18. It had 3 11W bulbs and 3 20W bulbs. They're working brilliantly for me.

    How will we get everyone in Ireland to buy energy-saving bulbs?
    I know, let's put on a recycling charge! And then charge VAT!

    Is stupidity in government a prerequisite or just an advantage?

    TmB,
    My local Dunnes Stores still has a fair few of those 2 for 1 philips ones. Mostly the 20w/100w BC bulbs. I'm sure if you look around you'll find them in a few shops.

    Bare in mind, the better one's like philip's are rated for longer hours while cheaper e.g "tesco value" have less hours.
