    However, fears have been raised over suggestions that low-energy bulbs can trigger skin rashes, migraines and epilepsy.

    I’d love to see that proved.

    Low-energy bulbs make great sense – using a fraction of the electricity and lasting many times longer than conventional bulbs. Nearly all the bulbs in my house are low-energy and have been for years. I think one or two are still ones we brought with us from our previous house over 10 years ago.

    But when conventional bulbs are phased out, I worry that manufacturers of low-energy bulbs will deleiberately reduce their lifespan so we have to buy replacements more often.

    What do you do with the low energy bulbs once they pop their clogs though. I suspect most do what they’d do with ordinary bulbs
