Long lasting energy efficient bulb !

Energy efficient bulbs appear to get a lot of bad publicity on the TV.
I thought it only fair to give you some POSITIVE feedback about them. They are alot better than people complain about:
I have just changed a energy efficient bulb in my porch that has been fitted since DEC 1996! It is always been on when it's dark and we are up and it's been outside in the elements for all that time.
I also have many other EE bulbs that have been fitted for over 10 years. In the last 15 years I have only had 2 failures; about 13 years two failed in quick succession after fitting, both were B&Q own brand and I got them replaced free of charge with Phillips version.
So, don't be put off by them, do fit stronger ones than the traditional bulb your replacing, keep the box for a while and write on the base of the bulb the date you fitted it.
ASDA now sell 150W (class A) EE bulbs for one pound; £1 !!!!!!! cor blimey mate!
