Not sure if this is the right thread but I'm thinking of changing my light bulbs for some low energy ones.
Any advice would be appreciated.

LED all the way. Forget energy saving ones, crap. LED cost very little to run., better than low energy and actually work

So how do I go about doing that, do I need any special knowledge or equipment?

No, you just plug them in like normal light bulbs, they've been around for ages and you probably use them on a daily basis without realising it. You save money on your electric bill because they're cheaper to run.

Just note they won't last as long as advertised in an enclosed or semi-enclosed fitting.

And sometimes don't work as spots in the kitchen because they need a special LED driver instead of a transformer, although try different bulbs first, I had some that didn't work, bought another brand and they did.

Just get the one you want with the same fitting and away you go. Check the wattage as there are different ones but they give the equivalent in old bulb terms. ie Wattage: 9W / Equivalent Wattage: 60W

Low energy bulbs are for pretentious wankers. Proper bulbs all the way

[Ray of Sunshine]

Low energy ones take too long to warm up and I don't like the light they produce much either.

LEDs ones are good though particularly since they don't give out much heat, halogen reading light in this weather we had recently is like having a little heat lamp on you which is not good, maybe OK in winter though.

And as Stooo said, save on electricity costs.

Have you subtracted Cleo, Nucks and Jem?

Brilliant!

It would have been brilliant IF it had been half that length or less.
And the numbers seem very randomly thrown in?
A passable piece, but it missed the mark somehow. IMO.

Everyone seems to like your post and I hate to be the one party pooper (there's always one ain't there )

But it's simply too long.

Would've been a great piece otherwise.
