More free bloody light bulbs

[big-all]

what do you have to do to get the free bulbs? i'm not an eon customer.

in general you can get l/e bulbs for 50p or less just shop around

in recent months morrisons have had specials of 3 for 50p and lidls have had 5 for 50p

so shop around

GLS bulb blown in garage, grabbed 20W Phillips low thing, plugged in, fell over dog as could not see it in light from glowworm. Well dog is black.

Its an odd market, the shops must be buying them for nothing.

I believe the big energy companies are supplying them at a subsidy as part of a commitment to cut energy use.

you can probably get them to install cavity wall or loft insulation cheap too, if you are old or poor

I am not in the industry any more so don't know how it works.
