Helloooo
Putting downlights in my bathroom and have been reading up on low energy. Anybody know if CFLs nowadays still suffer from crap light output from cold (for example the megaman ones from TLC) or have they gotten better? Annoying anywhere, but especially in a bathroom what with frequent short visits. Do I have to go LEDs if I want to avoid being ****ed off?
Again looking at TLC, it's a little upsetting the 5W bad boys are twice the price of the 3W ones. I'm considering about 5 of them in my ceiling and it's a fairly small bathroom - 2.4 x 2 m. Reckon the 3W would be OK? I notice these are equivalent to 25W halogens, but how does that relate to incandescent - i.e. lumens per watt? I can only really 'visualise' incandescent if you know what i mean.
Anywhere other than TLC I could be looking?
Cheers,
Liam
