Tungsten or “incandescent” light bulbs. Did you know the EU has “phased out” supply of 150-watt bulbs or greater? 100w will go this year, then 60w, etc etc.

The Green-Nazis have now decreed that not only are we to freeze due to “global” “warming”, but that this must now take place in the dark. Tungsten-filament bulbs available for sale are to have their available power reduced rpogresssively until banning utterly.

However, non-moonbats will be PLEASED TO KNOW that you can still buy large quantities of 200-watt Tungsten bulbs, from Chris Taylor Electrical, of Shakespeare Street, Southport, Lancashire, tel 01704-544047. I don’t know if he can get any more, so buy them while you can, for about £1.49 a shot. The specific bulbs he has right now are made in Slovakia which means they are probably perfectly good for the usual 1,000 hours+ . 

Tomorrow I am going to lay in a case of them, for the Long Dark Age ahead.

    Ah, I don’t know though, Nikola Tesla would probably be happy. The tungsten lightbulb though, it is an icon of civilisation. I’d keep those ones you bought David, they’ll be worth a mint one day .-)

    “The energy-saving lamps are going on all over Europe. ” Now there’s a new generation of LED which gives full-spectrum light with even greater brightness and longevity using even less electricity.

    I can’t wait… >:-}

    Dear Tony!
    I know about the new LEDs – are they the Luxeon ones or Philips? Same principle.

    Last year I built us a new kitchen overhead “illuminator”, that uses 98 5mm ultrabrite white button-LEDs in 14 star-groups of 7, total input 5.684 watts; illumination about the same as one 60-watt tungsten lamp. But the lighting effect is not as pleasing.
