Now most of my lightbulbs are Bayonette pound-a-pop phillips variety (EST subsidised) from an online retailer. They come on to full brightness very quicky and are nearly comparible to the incadesent equivenlants.

I have a couple of small candles which are also fine and a daylight spiral bulb which is also fine.

However I have bought some GU10 and R50 CFLs and they where expenisve and are rubbish. If left for five minutes the light you get from them is fine, but they take 5 mins to warm up and the initial light is very dark.

How come some CFLs are so rubbish? I think people have the impression that CFLs are inferiour to incadesents and are therefore staying away?

Is there anyway I can find out which ones are the good ones?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=644&Focus=6521#Comment_6521 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=644&Focus=6521#Comment_6521 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:34:07 +0100 Graham Bond
Have you tried Megaman GU10s. Whilst they are not instantaneous in winding up to full brightness, they take less thaan a minute and the colour is good.
