Sorry ladies, I dont retain the exact figures in my head cause I
actually dont give two shits about it. I meant the claimed equivelent

Read the 'small print' and you will discover that CFLs are being compared to a 'softone' bulb which has lower light output than GLS. Philips
even quote some IEC spec.

In sort it's a fraud. CFLs are only about 4 x more efficient than GLS (general lighting service) NOT 5 x.

Regardless, when I can no
longer find incandescent bulbs I will be fitting arrays of quartz
halogens that will problaby draw 10 times the amount of power. In
fact, I am already doing that.

As long as you can afford the electricity costs, especially when carbon
taxes are introduced, otherwise you may regret it.

I doubt it will ever happen as AGW has about 2-3 years left in it befiore
the actual truth comes out.

You can also vote for an anti-AGW party.

As the internet is largely responsible for exposing more and more
government
bullshit - such as this - and ruining their plans, making governments
look the fools they are,
No wonder they are desperate to censor the net.
