Is it really worth the aggro - we are talking about lightbulbs here?! If you can be bothered, buy some cheap ones and replace them - that way you can take some second hand bulbs to your next place!0

I would rather take my expensive second hand lightbulbs that have a guaranteed life of 6 years - and only been used for a few months- than take new and cheaper. And that is what I intend to do.... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

Surely you kept the old ones when you swapped them and put them somewhere safe ? Hope you didn't throw them away, think of your carbon footprint

I used to do this when the energy saving bulbs were loads of quids and I was broke.
I used to go to Leather Lane market and pick up packs of bulbs for approximately nothing.0 -
I would go to poundland and get a packet of them, and then change the newest eco bulbs
