I'm confused by the plethora of different bulb type's available and have no way to tell how powerful they are. I'm an impatient shopper, I have a list and if Tesco hasn't moved stuff and there arn't too many dithering women shoppers with hubby bored out of his mind standing in the aisle, I can get in and out in about 7 minutes. So when I need a new bulb it would be handy if there was a similar prominant brightness rating as watts. You knew where you were with watts; 100w for the kitchen, 60w for the the living room 40w for standard lamps.
CPC send me catalogues with offers in. Looking at the lightbulb section is a bit like looking at porn sites, all those naked light bulbs, pages and pages of them, it's a nightmare. At least porn video's come with a handy description and a star rating, or so I've heard: perhaps they can do the same for light bulb's. : ) Seriously though, like with anything nowadays there is too much choice, I'm sure I'm not the only one who find's it bemusing, so thanks Jeffrey for a few pointer's.
Like with most component's I strip PCB's for LED's. And like other component's as they're only a few pence it isn't "economic" to recycle them. China unlike the USA and other Western countries is at least trying in this respect . Mass production of short lived consumer good's is short sighted, I think Craig raises a valid point. Though it's the danger from handling the arsenic and the pollution resulting in the extraction, as in the past as Lawrence says.
