Just changed a load of our bulbs

We have nearly all energy savers round the house. Kitchen has normal spots, hallway and bog where they are literally on-off are normal 60W bulbs but everywhere else is a mix of old and new energy savers. What we normally do, because we rent, is to take the energy savers with us when we move because in the past they have been more expensive. So we have a mix, some are newer than others, some are up to about 8 years old and slow and starting to fail.

I just swapped some of the older ones out for new Philips ones because they were either getting dim or not coming on as fast as they used to. Old knackered ones back in the box and they can stay here when we move...

Instant-on and I can see again

I have to say I'm quite impressed with how well the old Ikea ones have lasted. I bet they aren't as good these days though
