Free Lightbulbs?

A.Penny.Saved

The energy companies used to send them out for free. I had a pile from Southern elec which I have never used because they are not the power that I require.

Hope you never have the misfortune to need the "Nanny State", and before you ask I guarantee your WRONG!

Before I ask what?
By the way, its not your wrong, it's you're wrong.
As the OP said herself. Service points are somewhere Council tenants go to complain. That just about sums it all up. Nowhere like that for private house owners . They just have to get on and solve their own problems using their own money.
Many years ago I worked with a chap who lived in a Council house. I had just bought my modest terrace that I was doing up myself. I had to buy a second hand water heater to put on the wall in the kitchen because I could not afford a new one. He had just had a brand new central heating system fitted by the Council. While I was talking to him, he had the cheek to complain that he had to actually pay for the gas to use it. I am still lost for words to express my feelings about his attitude over 50 years later. He genuinely thought that people who bought their own houses were mugs.

There is a reason they are free, they are total rubbish. There is also a distinct possibility that you will fall over and impale yourself on something sharp, causing serious or even worse, fatal injury due to the outstandingly awful quality of light that these lightbulbs produce.

Don't know what your using, but we have loads and they are fine once they have warmed up for a few seconds. No different to incandescent if you use the right rating and only 20% of the electricity.
