    40 watt candle type bulbs blowing my wire fuses.

    even ignoring the high start current Does that just apply to fluorescents or LEDs as well...if thats the case are they best left switched on rather than on just to find a book for instance?

    40 watt candle type bulbs blowing my wire fuses.

    I will have another look at the led hut... With the compact fluorescent type am I correct in thinking that most of the energy used is in the inital startup/switch on and that switching on off is wasteful.

    No not on dimmers, I can see low energy screw ins on ebay but no screw in LEDs...these would fit my living room, I can see LED to replace the halogen spots...that I have in my kitchen, If I went with both of these types would that be a benefit me then. Nick. Thank you.
