However their stocking of halogen spots is haphazard at best. There's a little shop in the indoor market in Willenhall that sells them much cheaper than anywhere else I've found. However the other day one of our didn't just die, more exploded covering the living room floor with glass. Not good when you have a little one running around.

I do remember you telling me you had loads of spotlights at your place for which energy saving versions aren't easy to come by. Do you mean you are using halogen spot bulbs which aren't energy efficient and yes they need constantly replacing. We've still got two light fittings in our place that have them (the rest have energy saving) and I'm seriously considering ripping them out because the bulbs not only waste electricity but cost more than incandescent and need replacing far too quickly.

I am trying to follow the government's advice and use lower wattage bulbs in my flat but they have a nasty habit of needing replacing more quickly though. Any advice Penguin?
