Yay or Nay: are you OK with low energy bulbs?
Last week, we talked about some of the health concerns that are being connected with low-energy light bulbs, including migraine, dizziness and even skin cancer. Further to this, many people complain about the quality of the light from CFL bulbs, and are reluctant to give up their old bulbs, which may soon be outlawed.
I've found that the range of quality with these bulbs varies enormously: in my flat alone, I have some low energy bulbs installed that work brilliantly, and I'd choose them over the traditional sort any day. But I'll also admit that others I've bought take ages to brighten up, then look stark and horrible when they do. To me, this suggests that once the technology is sorted out, they'll be fine. But what do you think?
