    Well, thats a funny story. When it went of tuesday evening i was plugging in a phone a bang. the whole estate was out at least. And i've blown every bulb in the house at least twice since last August. Some even more than that. and some of these LED bulbs are meant to last 15 years. Getting rightly pee'd at this point

    No but I know it messed up Grey's Anatomy for me!!!

    And Kikel, my hubby freaks at the lightbulb situation in the house. He has only lived with me for 3 years but I swear every bulb has been changed twice! I keep telling him that it wasn't the case before he moved in!

    +1

    I thought it was my fault cause i changed a bulb in the lamp, switched it on, then nothing...and the alarm in the house went haywire!!!

    im in my current house nearly 4 years... when we moved in first i was changing bulbs nearly every week, but a year ago we decided to put in low energy bulbs everywhere, and i can swear i havent had to change a bulb since... the €5 cost of them is extermly worth it!!!
