Are you ready for the switch over next year?​

Low-energy bulbs are so crap. I'll be using the LED version instead, instant bright light.

I've got a mix of Mini Lynx fast starts (much better than other CFs), halogen (20% saving, instant on) and a few old school incandescents.

Can you get 60w equivalent leds?
