Description
Unlike annoying fluorescent energy saving bulbs (CFLs) which produce an uninspiring yellow light, take time to reach maximum output and contain potentially toxic mercury, or expensive, inefficient incandescent bulbs, these new Halogen Energy Savers are both energy-saving and a pleasure to use.
They’re as bright as a standard 100W incandescent light bulb but produce less heat and use 30% less energy; are ‘Long Life’ (lasting 2000 hours or twice as long as incandescents) plus reach maximum light output instantly and work with dimmer switches! They also give a bright white (not yellow) light.
Ideal for wall and bedside lights plus we're offering standard sized screw and bayonet fittings (ideal for chandeliers). At less than £1.50 per bulb you can now afford to replace all the old, inefficient incandescents or annoying energy-saving fluorescents throughout your home.
These GLS ‘Globe’ style bulbs are available with standard size bayonet or screw fittings and you can choose between the 42W (equivalent light output of traditional 60W incandescent) or super bright 70W versions (equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb).
Also available: Candle Style Energy-Saving Lightbulbs and GU10 42W Energy-Saving Spotlight.
Please ensure you order the correct bulb to suit your home lighting fittings!
We offer bulbs with a range of fittings: from (Edison) standard and small screw fittings plus standard bayonet. Each bulb we sell has its own ‘fitting code’ such as B22 or E14. Bayonet fitting bulbs begin with a ‘B’ and screw bulbs begin with an ‘E’ – for Edison screw.
Simply measure the diameter across your bulb’s metal fitting in mm. For example, a small screw candle bulb has the code E14 – which means it is an Edison screw fitting 14mm in diameter. See key below for more details.
Key:
E14 Small Edison Screw – 14mm diameter fitting
E27 Large (standard) Edison Screw – 27mm diameter fitting
B22 Large (standard) Bayonet – 22mm in diameter fitting

Newtownabbey
Instant full bright light as promised.
13/12/2012 11:39:00If they are expected to last a long time, selling them in boxes of 10 is a bit excessive.

Bulbs for the socket not the garden.
14/11/2012 21:21:00What more can I say, I ordered light and I got it. So far no problems easy fitting and N-Power are complaining that I am not using enough electricity. I am 84 and was brought up to be frugal and live within my means. Hope this is what you wanted..

Good product, much brighter, much quicker than the fluorescent type of low energy bulb.

excellent light - especially for the winter darkness and for people who need bright light to read and help them thru the winter months.

Delivery and acknowledgement could have been a bit faster, particularly acknowledgement of the order.

taunton
Excellent product. Does exactly what its supposed to do.

The 'globes' are brighter than we thought. Good quality. Put one in straight away! Delighted
radstock
A tad expensive but hopefully they will last a long time to outweigh the cost, give a really bright light.
Coventry
So far so good. I'm am pleased with the level of light emitted by the 2 bulbs I have fitted so far, but whether they will be as long lasting as promised, I cannot yet say.
BATH
Arrived very quickly and safely wrapped. They appear to work well - no time yet to assess longevity.

It is a pleasure to use 'proper' lightbulbs again that light up instantly and are not unsightly.

Nice bright light not that dull yellow of my low energy ones that they replaced
walton-on-thames

Harleston
Great value, nice and bright, fast delivery
Bolton
An answer at last to the problems of not being able to see using the so-called energy saving lamps.
Addlestone
They do what it said they would do.
Torquay
subject to the length of time that they last.
Ipswich
Very good bulbs
Loughborough
would be good to have smaller size packs-say 5 instead of 10

London
Nice bright light. Of course, I haven't had them long enough to know how long they will last, but I am hopeful !
Chelmsford
Satisfies a need in the marketplace that hasn't been catered for before
Dorking
Good quality immediate lighting. Unfortunately one bulb was damaged/broken in transit.
Wigan
Does exactly what was claimed Lights immediately and gives a better light than old similar bulbs
BARHAM
Arrived promtly; used one in landing light; instant max light and no wait as for previous tree-huggers so called energy bulb. Much brighter than anticipated even though I have used previously available version this type of lamp in anglepoise.
weston-super-Mare
good value for money
London
What can you say about a light bulb ? It had the correct base fitting and it provides a nice, bright light.
Elsdon
White light, as promised. No broken ones so far (we have used three).
Coventry
So much better than our previous environmentally-friendly lights!
Broxbourne
Excellant
Leicester
Escellent value for money. Would be useful if equivalent 40W bulbs were available.
Aberdeen
vast improvement on my previous bulbs much better light intensity
Bristol
have not used any bulbs yet
Derby
I have been looking for alternatives to the so called energy saver lights. LEDs are much better and exceptional value for money.
Nottingham
I find these bulbs very good, as it says, instant bright white light, & they can be dimmed. Think trad low energy bulbs have more cons than pros,it nice to be able to actually see what i,m doing & not have to wait 10mins or so for an inferior yellow glow.
Doncaster
Bulbs do exactly as described, i.e. a good bright white light and energy saving. Much better than the pale yello pluorescents.
Haverhill
ay
Holywood
Only one bulb received!
Carlisle
The final 'Value for money' rating will have to wait until how long the bulbs last can be established.
Lancing
some of the lugs broke on two of the baulbs
Oxford
Hooray, I can see properly in the house now. The white light is so much better, and means instead of turning of several low energy yellow bulbs in the room, I only need one light for the same effect. Much more environmentally friendly and efficient. Much better.
York
Exremely good energy efficient bulbs. Very bright. At last i can see.
Dartford
Excellent
Southampton
Item as described.Prompt dispatch.
Southport
Excellent bright daylight lights.Instant as well, no warming up. Much nicer than those awful yellow ones that start like candles and never really give a clear light when they've warmed up.
Derby
Three of the bulbs had hairline cracks but seem to work well
Pontefract
much better light than any low wattage bulbs we have used before the wife is well pleased as she can see to put her makeup on now
Cleethorpes
I have rated these bulbs as a 4 because despite your advert saying they were long life ( I believe 2000 hrs are mentioned) one of the bulbs blew after only 8 hours use. That makes it a very expensive bulb. Otherwise I am pleased with the resultant effects of the bulbs.
Southampton
they are better than the low energy bulbs I have been using a much brighter light
Birmingham
excellent product. Nice bright white light, rather than a yellow dingy light.
London
Best energy saving bulbs i have bought over the last few months. Exactly as described will be buying more.
FAREHAM
Quite satisfied
Baldock
One of the bulbs we bought didn't work after 1 day.
Belfast
The clear glass is very sore on the ewes
havant
worth the money
Leatherhead
We have dimmer controlled lights in our dining room and these lights do not flicker at all and are much brighter than the other 'green' type of 'bulbs'.
Wareham
Whata relief to have white light back in the house as opposed to dim yellow gloom
Leicester
Everything came when they should have and was very pleased with the good.
London
We are delighted with this purchase. But were disappointed that we had to buy 10 at one go. We also think that it would be useful if they came in pearl as well as clear. 10 as a mixed pack would be useful. T2 Response: Thanks for your feedback Mr Jenkins. We will look into the possibility of offering a mixed pack.
Q&As
Back to TopSo, if you used the 42W bulb for 1 hour, the calculation would be: (42 x 1) ÷1000 = 0.042kWh.
To find out how much this will cost per hour, you will need to find out how much your energy supplier charges. But on average, the bulb will cost you approx. 1p per hour to run.
