lightbulbs: what was once 1zl now costs...

thanks to the eu lightbulbs have gone down in wattage and up in price.

I used them tasting the Europe and I think it is diversion. To read less (yes I have heard that it gives the same light as regular old ones, I am not that suggestible) ;) Anyway it is mostly Union dominated by Germans and Germans like sparen.

Enegry-save bulbs need to big energy to start and to get warm enough to operate cost-effective as far as I know.

@Wroclaw: I think you have a street lamp close to your window, you can save money on lightbulbs :)

The Eu have banned inefficent lightbulbs that cost several times as much and last 1/5 the time.

i find that reading is more difficult with the more expensive, slow to get bright type of bulbs.

Based on the amount of energy consumed turning on the bulb, they were able calculated how long the bulb would have to be turned off in order to make it worth the energy savings, i.e. "It's best to turn off the bulb if you are leaving the room for":

Incandescent: 0.36 seconds
CFL: 0.015 seconds
Halogen: .51 seconds
LED: 1.28 seconds
Fluorescent: 23.3 seconds

In other words, its almost always best to turn the bulb off. Even the 23 seconds for the fluorescent lights isn't very long, and the rest of the times are pretty much blinks of an eye.
