When the bulb in my bedroom blew last I thought thatin this current climate of energy conversation I bought one of these low-energy bulbs rather than one of the regular light bulbs I tend to prefer.

It's not been in for long and already I'm starting to dislike it.

I will admit, unlike the energy saving bulbs of old that you had to turn on about three hours before you needed them, this one does get brighter a lot faster. However, there is a distinct pause of about a second between my switching the switch, the light coming on dim and then kicking up bright.

My old bulb came on straight away and that's what I want!!! Light, now!!
