No doubt where "a source said" :rolleyes::D

Exactly - just as accurate as a "source" on MSE !

Sod's Law applies:- I have a light fitting in my bathroom with two low energy lamps in it. One has just failed, I took it out and it has a *%$"££)(* Edison screw fitting - Arrgghhhh !

I'm afraid this response shows a complete lack of understanding of the business world, the companies WANT to spend "hundreds of millions in capital project", the more the better.

Normallly I wouldn't respond well to such an insulting comment but I can see clearly why you thought that.
However, I am taking everything into consideration from NIMBYs to long term energy costs. I do not want to be in the same position as so many in England who have water costs set to increse dramatically because of necessary infrastructure investments. It's the same principle in the energy market, as you pointed out, we are the ones that end up paying. & energy companies make less profit when prices are high.

I can go on....

Some have screws missing. Others are simply twisted.

I got 2 sets thru the door from a certain company at different times, & they were fine, but having started to replace the ordinary bulbs in my house as they blew, I've had 2 of the new energy saving lighbulbs fade away to nothing, both in less than 6 mths, in different rooms, just ordinary use, & one wasn't from the free bulbs either, it was one I bought off my own back before I got the freebies. So much for lasting a lot longer that the old ones.
