Tesco "Value" eco-bulbs
« on: 24 October 2009, 21:35:21 »
Fair doos, came on as soon as I flicked the switch. None of this 2 second delay, and then a single candles worth, slowly increasing in illumination.
Ok, they still take a couple of mins to reach full power and none of them will match the light from a "proper" bulb, but at least the Tesco own brand cheapies give a useable light instantly.

I think the Tesco jobbies were a £1.00 BOGOF offer.
