I have loads of low energy light bulbs all over the house because children
ALWAYS leave them on!
No problems with reputable makes on 160 or LF.

I wonder if anybody is aware of the requirements that came in with the new
Part L of the Building Regulations on April 1st in the UK?
Apparently in new houses or conversions you now have to put a
number of CF fittings (low energy) in place that will only take CF bulbs -
you can't just fit a CF bulb onto a conventional light fitting.
These CF fittings have the ballast etc built into the base so that you
can't
just unscrew the CF bulb and screw in an ordinary one.

I bought two low energy bulbs some years ago and they turned out to be
horrendous interference generators, I threw them out as soon as I found
that
out. Has anybody else has problems with low energy bulbs?
