Spotlight on the energy saving lightbulb

I recently had to change one of the lightbulbs at home. The first thing I realised was that the bulb had lasted for about a year. It had previously been in the passage, but when the old style light bulb in the room blew up suddenly there was no immediate replacement so I took the energy saving bulb in the passage and put it in the bedroom. That was approximately a year ago.

Some supermarkets are selling these energy saving lights bulbs at half price and some at are selling at extremely cheap prices so that everyone can afford to buy them.

What are the advantages of using energy saving lightbulbs?

• It will save you money
• It will save energy
  
• Lasts a lot longer than a conventional lightbulb
• Energy saving bulbs with sensors are available (switches off at dawn, on at dusk)
• Good quality bright bulbs
• Can be recycled
• Looks nice - You can get these bulbs in a variety of styles and shapes now!

I have read a few articles which state that some people have migraines or suffer from skin allergies when exposed to energy saving lighbulbs.....I have to root around to find the information but I will post the information later if I come across it again....
