    Does anyone know where I can get them in Ireland? I can only ever find them equivalent up to 100 watts.

    I don't think there is such a thing in the CFL line. You can get them a little bit more than 100 W equivalent but not 150. Neighbours of mine have 5 or 6 20 W CFL lamps in a cluster in their dining room and it provides good light in a large room using only about 100 W.

    Woodies do them up to 125w equivalent.

    I've ordered quite a few off these guys including a 65w cfl which is equivalent to 325w incandescent off these guys(for a very big room)

    and this is a 150w equivalent.

    Though i tend to find that i need to go a bit higher than what they say. a 125w equivalent is really more a match for a 100w incandescent bulb for example. So maybe you should go for this one..

    I'm sure there are other sites that do them as at those prices now they're a bit dear.

    Hope this helps.

    Edit: Actually just found these guys here in ireland...a lot cheaper.

    Yeah that's my experience as well. I'm all for using these bulbs but find that most of the ones available are way too dim. Thanks for the links!
