Try http://www.bltdirect.com/ - what sort of bulb are you looking for?
i was looking for some small bayoney candles and found them on the bltdirect site - however beware that some of the energy saving candles are a lot larger than the standard bulbs - in the end I ordered some megaman branded bulbs from ebay (seller was something like DBA electrics).

Hi,

In my previous house I used energy saving light bulbs and I really noticed the saving in electricity.

I have just moved house and it has 27 spotlights!!!

Does anyone know anywhere to get cheap energy saving spotlight bulbs?

Thanks,

Don't expect to get any non standard (non stick-shaped) energy saving bulbs cheap! ((IE they are NOT mass-produced)...But think of the cost savings and they pay for themselves!)

I had to look at putting a couple dozen 'candle' shaped bulbs into more 'energy efficient' prices and the above site helped alot when I bought more than just a 'few'.

Having said that I tend to buy the more 'cheaper' stick shaped ones from Home Bargains/Netto for the 'upstairs/WC areas'

just call me 'Hyacinth Bucket' already! :j

3 yrs ago I bought 5 spirals and 3 years later only 2 are still going.

Im sure they get used more than 3 hours per day but thats still only 5,000 hours, a farcry short of the 10 year claim. Only got them because they were the cheapest.

Megaman are the best but there bulbs take a couple of minutes to reach full brightness. Its very hard to notice the colour difference between them and halogen bulbs.

The best price I've found for megaman is from this ebay shop:-

I was ordering 10 and contacted them and got an extra pound off per bulb.
