747212 2009-02-12 15:29:00 Can I use this 30W light bulb on the ceiling?

cgi.ebay.com 090120?IMSfp=TL090120111003r22416

I see at woolworths the max i can get in an ordinary light bulb is 100W

So...

The 30W energy saving one on ebay that produces 125W shouldn't be a problem because its only using 30W to produce 125W of light not 125W producing 125W of light


It should be ok am i right?

747213 2009-02-12 17:22:00 You can get 30W energy savers at some supermarkets

Just a case of looking round

Or are you specifically after a photo-light?

And does your light socket take screw-in or bayonet fitting? The ones you linked to are screw-in

You can get 26W ones from hardware stores - I use 26W Osram ones, and find them to be excellent.

Its 110V 60 Hz there and we're 240V 50 Hz here. There would be a most impressive output of light but for a very short time. Then you would have to try to put out the fire.

Being in NZ they won't send it to you anyway (note the "ships to:" information)
