Got to work this morning and all was gloomy.
The light was on but our recently purchased energy saving lightbulb (burns for 10,000 hours) emitted less light than a small candle.
We only replaced it before Christmas.
But, I only changed the one at Christmas because the one before that lasted only about 3 months.
And the one before that.
I asked my friends about their experiences.
The same.
Light bulbs advertised to last 10,000 hours last less than 1.000.
Inspecting the bulbs, I believe them to carry a much larger 'carbon footprint' than the old bulbs.
Yes, they may be an efficent use of electricity (!).
But, the money saved on electric bills, is NOT covering the cost of the bulbs (usually 7/8 times the old price).
Another Con just to make money.
Dont you just love Capatilism ??
