Popped into the Homebase in Killarney looking for ideas for new kitchen cupboards and walked out with some Philips Energy Saver bulbs 8w and 11w for €1.99 each. They are currently doing an offer of buy one 11W bulb and get another free. Amazing price - hubby paid €7 for one last week!

Apparently the cheaper ones (dunnes and tescos) have a shorter life-span and that means putting the mercury in em into the landfill sites earlier.

I think Phillips' bulbs might last two or three times longer - 8/9 years.

Yup there are Phillips ones and Dunnes still have them. 6.49 for a twin pack of 100W or 75W bulbs

I got some energy saver lightbulbs last year, but they are a really harsh white light. Anyone know if these are a warmer colour?
