What expensive sort of fashion? Do they explode and destroy the fitting (unlikely)? Take them back and get a replacement. |

| 679602 | 2008-08-13 00:50:00 | What expensive sort of fashion? Do they explode and destroy the fitting (unlikely)? No, they just fail to function. Take them back and get a replacement. And again, no. My other half insists on buying them, no way I'm going to protect him from the consequences of his own decisions. Not when I disagree with him, anyway - I can't stand the colour of the light. And also, I'm way too lazy. |

| 679606 | 2008-08-14 08:37:00 | The latest issue of the New Zealand Listener - August 16-22 has an article (page 51) that casts some light (sorry) on the current myths being propagated about CFLs. Still, why bother acquainting yourself with the facts, foaming at the mouth about Nanny state is much more fun. Martynz |

| 679609 | 2008-09-09 01:30:00 | Apparently, optometrists don't like them either (www.3news.co.nz tothejob/tabid/420/articleID/70501/cat/59/Default.aspx). Which is a bit bizarre really, considering what they sell... Does anyone know where to buy the LED lightbulbs (ones that will fit in a standard bayonet or screw fitting?) |
