While the energy saving is small, the change in public conciousness is huge and leads onto more people thinking about other ways of saving energy. I see the bulbs thing as a gesture to direct public thinking in a positive direction - energy saving and efficency. Roll on nuclear fusion. :D Talking of the thinking of goverments,why is the compliance cost of installing solar heating in the Waimak area $1000.? |

| 526209 | 2007-02-24 06:31:00 | "The typical streetlight...... is only 70 or 90 watts." So how do I get one of those, godfather? The streetlight across the road from me seems to be doing a far better job than the energy-saving 100 watt equivalent I've rigged (temporarily while fiddling with placement) on a kitchen wall. Suppose there'd be snags for home consumption? (And old house wiring certainly wouldn't help...) Go to Mitre 10 I went today and got an 8w energy saver (40 equiv) and a 23w (125w equiv) but i did notice they had energy saver bulbs that went up to about ~ 200w (1000w equiv?) was thinking of getting one and putting it in the bathroom, pretty sure it would wake me up first thing in the morning but they were around the $60 mark |

I've lasted more than a year. And the battle has seemingly been lost. |
