Depends on size, quality, colour (warmth wise) and convenience! I recommend Phillips as good bulbs stocked at John Lewis and IKEA which can be convenient and are about £1 a bulb, but are good quality. Possible to get cheaper at say a supermarket but it can be the price/quality ratio with ESB!0 -
Ikea do their own, they are really cheap.0

Yup I get mine from IKEA. The ones I have in the livingroom, hall and kitchen have been the same three since I moved into this flat over four years ago
Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:
This time I'm on top of it! We live and learn :coffee:0 -

IKEA don't do there own they are all branded bulbs in IKEA boxes.0 -
Lidl, Aldi and Netto. They all do them fairly cheap, and I think they are Phillips branded.

Lidl do the philips ones definately under 90p each. These ones have no delay and warm up within a couple of seconds. I have tried loads and these are as good as the best, if not a little bit bigger than most (tall)Lets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:0

Funny that, a while back I was thinking of going to my local Ikea to get a couple of lightbulbs just to keep them as spare, then about 3 months ago I received 2 Philips energy saving lightbulbs, free, from my electricity supplier. Last week I received another packet, this time from my gas supplier, with four of these Philips lightbulbs. So now I have six spares plus all the others already in use around my home. And all FREE. :rotfl:- Ok, they make a killing on the bills, but still../Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0
