I've changed some of the light bulbs in my house to energy saving ones but I've got quite a lot more that need to be changed as the current ones burn out? Is there a particular type or brand that is "best"?
I don't want to compromise and have to make do with a lot less light, and I don't really want big ugly things that everyone really notices. Are there particular ones I should look at?

Best Low Energy Bulbs
LuLu,
I have done a fair amount of research on low energy bulbs and the best ones appear to be Megaman and Philips. I got them from a website called www.eco-st.com They have a clever thing on there called a light bulb selector which helps you choose replacements for your current bulbs and should help you get exact matches (you can also pick from a list I believe) It helped me anyway. I think they are quite cheap aswell.
Hope that helps,
Jim
Best Light Bulbs
I'm also looking for good energy saving bulbs. The ones I've bought before have a colder light and I want some with a warmer glow. Does anyone know where I can get these?
Best Light Bulbs
I've found that most low energy bulbs that you can buy nowadays have a warmer light. The cold light that you talk about was generally found in models in the past, but now many of them offer the same colour light as incandescant bulbs. I've bought both General Electric and IKEA bulbs recently and they were both absoluteley fine
Light bulbs
I've changed all the bulbs in my house over to energy saving ones but I haven't yet found an answer for what do do about the halogen bulbs that I've got in various places around the house. I've looked at various web sites but, as far as I can see there isn't really a good answer to what to replace halogen bulbs with.............unless someone can tell me different?
Halogen replacements
It depends whether you have mains voltage or low voltage halogen bulbs at the moment. Mains voltage have little nobbly bits on the fittings. Low voltage is just two straight little pins. I got my replacements from a site called www.eco-st.com. They have replacements for both on there.
