Are these available now in globes the same size as standard incandescent bulbs? Though I rather like the trasitional cf shape they aren't suitable for wall and reading lights where the shade clips over the bulb.
Compact fluorescent lamps.

John Lewis also have them, in other wattages and a screw base.
They're slightly longer than a normal bulb, the colour rendering is pretty good IMHO.
12w is about the same as a 60W bulb.cheers, Pete.
Yes, but the higher powered ones are bigger than similar light output filament lamps. Some shade clips would likely still work though.
If youre willing to accept a fat neck* and lower light output, yes.

- CFLs have that effect on people
Is this because of the puking when they are switched on?
Only with people who have centrally heated garages ;)
cheers, Pete.
Yer just jealous....
