It's a Mayor of London's initiative. Two incandescent light bulbs in
exchange for FREE one energy saving light bulb at any branch of B&Q.
Be hurry, today is the last day!

Why would people want crappy energy saving bulbs? They take a few minutes
to get to full brightness and LED ones are out now anyway. Think of a
normal bulb with a coating inside, then a few uV LEDs inside to make it glow
a brilliant white. 1w compared to 20w energy saver. Maybe energy savers
are not so efficient.
Most energy saving bulbs sold in Tesco and Costco are knackered anyway - be
sure to take them out of the packs in tesco. If they rattle put them back.
Avoid the ones sealed up in CostCo as only half in each pack work.

Costco will give an instant, query free refund on any faulty bulbs, or even
non faulty ones if you don't like them, so it is a very safe place to get
them from. I have bought more than a hundred of Costco CFL spirals, none
have been faulty.
