here in Australia incandescant lights are being phased out. All the Utility companies have been giving these new wonder globes out for years & everyone is supposed to use them cos the old ones are inefficient etc.

I used the new lights in my ceiling lights in my bedroom & living room where I have antique/vintage glass light fittings & don't find the light strong enough, as I have cataracts, which will be around for years as they were only diagnosed a few years ago. These new lights are also in my kitchen & bathroom, in modern fittings without covers.

But I need extra light - so I have a LED desk lamp on my computer table & a "Daylight" lantern on my working table, a mini-fluro over my sink cos shelves block the main light & a small incandescent light over my kitchen workbench, cos other shelves block the light there.
