Has anyone received their free energy saving light bulb, that we are to receive from Endesa?
I thought we should have already had a voucher, in the post,  then asked to go and collect a bulb, from somewhere like local Ajuntament?
Hey ho!

No Haven't had any voucher yet may be they are saving the big pressy as a surprise for christmas!!

Anyway Rita I have quite a few energy saving bulbs they are a bit black on the inside of the glass and they don't give out any light, but then again they don't use any electricity Tee Hee ;D ;D

50p each from Asda and you can bring them through on hand luggage.

We got ours about 3 weeks ago.

The lady at the post office gave us a voucher and then she had all the bulbs to distribute a few days after that.

Swapped the bulb for the voucher, now in the hall light fitting, which always seems to be left on by mistake, so aint costing a fortune!

Keep taking the medication, or red liquid stuff, Hazelnut.
Maybe you planted the bulbs upside down, or it's too cold, for them.

If you are coming back to the UK, a lot of shops ie Homebase are doing them for 10p each, maximum buy of 20 ( I think!)

The problem is that they are bayonet type, not screw in.

They obviously were NOT real energy saving bulbs, because real energy saving bulbs plant themselves ;D

I did manage to get both types but a lot of ex pats have lamps that they have bought over from the UK and obviously use the bayonet type.
