Thumbs down How many...

How many bulbs does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer, four if they're
"Wilko extra value 100W pearl light bulbs".



I needed a 100W bulb in my bathroom, shaving was getting tricky under a dull 40W glow. So picture my delight when, after a special trip to Wilkinsons, i found a pack of four for less than a pound!

Unfortunately the excitement did not last long. 5 days, and about 3 hours of use and ping, first one went. New one in, next day its gone. I'm currently on number 3 bulb of 4 but at the rate of 2 a week it's gonna end up costing me £30 over the year just to shower in the light! That kind of cash could buy me tyres with some tread on them...

we changed most of ours to energy saving ones. Its not liek the old ones that took 29 mins to heat up a bit, most flicker on like a tube light and are very bright.

Cheap as well from asda.
