Where to buy a reliable

burnt toast · 10-04-2014, 09:51 PM

100watt normal spot type E27 screw household bulb please? I found what I thought might be a good buy: "ever ready" bulb in a pound shop near me & bought several thinking that's a good name. But as my hubby points out they have a name for batteries not light bulbs! Anyway they have been total rubbish!!!

So thought I would ask other people do you have normal non UV just heat bulbs that last more than a few days? & where do you get them from please?

I have the same problem. They last ten minutes and pop, gone. Haven't found a good one yet.

I tend to buy mine by the box full on Ebay - they work out quite reasonable and last for a reasonable amount of time

Do you have a link please Lynne?

Wilkinsons - we bought a load when they were half price. They last ages and we still have lots unused.

All the Poundland ones seems to be useless lasting only a matter of hours before they give up the ghost!

I get mine from B+Q seem to last

I use Amazon too... hard to find ones that aren't Ever ready as there are utter pants!
Got some branded "Compton" atm... they are a mixed lot some last a day some last ages...

I buy from either B&Q or hombase, they are both fine.

Home base sell good 80w halogen bulbs that are very good, also B & Q do a similar one as well.

Have attached a link for you Lynn

If you type in R80 100w 10 into the search bit on Ebay it brings up quite a choice
