Sounds too good to be true, but a quick Google would seem to prove you
right!!
Will check it out on my way home from work later... no doubt if they had
any, they've sold out by now though :-(

A couple of months ago, Waitrose were giving them away.

We had a load given to us. It's as we first thought when my sister tried
them. You can't give them away they are SOOOO bad.

Is this to disguise the fact that they are selling Stella at £16 for 20
pints - despite what they said a few days ago in relation to binge boozing?

Er - sorry? What's SOOOO bad about them? I have a house full and "they
rock" (as my youngest is wont to say). In any case, like 'em or not in a
year or two you won't have a choice. The good ol' incandescent variety will
be banned because of it's horrendous inefficiency and carbon load. So
there!

So we'll all have to do without the benefit of that 'wasted' by-product
of incandescent bulbs, ie heat? I have just taken delivery of 1000
pounds-worth of central heating oil - up from 36p/l last year to 45p/l
this year (none of your sissy 15% for gas and electricity). Those
'wasteful' old-style bulbs may not contribute much heat but, in the
circumstances, every little helps! Wanting to ban them totally is simply
muddled thinking. As they say, 'The road to Hell is paved with good
intentions'.

Maybe you are looking at the older design or the open tubed design. If
the aesthetics bother you just put your hand deeper in your pocket and
you can buy one of the modern Philips Softone units which to my mind
provide excellent lighting while saving about 80% on electricity
consumption.

Unless of course you are making a Jeremy Clarkson point that anything
to do with environment or global warming is a myth to be ignored.

Overpriced.

If they want me to live in a cheap doctors waiting room or massage parlour,
have to remove all of my lamp dimmers, put up with the electrical
interference, move my TV so that the excess IR doesn't block my remote, I'd
still be looking at them paying me to take this garbage off of their hands.

And if you suffer from migraine?

Low Energy = Low IQ.

Sigh - dimmable CFLs are available and have been for some time.

Oh, and...

How do you know what the lighting's like in a 'massage parlour'?

Was the visit to the cheap docs after the massage parlour?

Hmmm..
