Energy saving lamps

Hello,

Here I would like to have your opinion I have energy saving lamps in the house (bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and kitchen, so a total of 5) but I would like to know what you think for an energy saving lamp. energy in the WC.

Thank you

This is not the case with Megaman Ingenium bulbs (2nd generation) which are designed to do 600 ON / OFF cycles and 000 h ...

This remark is also valid for many econological devices: with the progressive awareness of consumers and the wide dissemination of information on global warming, many economic players have understood the benefit they could make by surfing on this green wave.
Result: many m ... es designed with feet bearing a "good for the planet" label : Evil:

Some examples beyond low-end fluo-compacts: certain solar collectors, most heat pumps (notably air-air), certain maintenance products, etc.

It will have to be done, the preservation of the planet is in fashion and, in the minds of some, everything that is in fashion could bring money ... : Cry:

Hello

I take advantage of the presence of a specialist on the forum: What to buy as a 12 volt led to properly light (the bike headlights are really too expensive).
