[QUOTE="neilo, post: 3598048, member: 348"] The low energy bulbs I mentioned above, where CF bulbs. I used them in the old buildings here too, and they certainly lasted longer than the LED bulbs that I replaced them with. In fact, the CF bulbs are still working fine where I moved them to (despite not supposedly being as suitable in livestock buildings). It's a job to beat LEDs for the amount of bright light per unit of leccy though. I've bought a box of cheaper ones (17W) now, expecting them to last less time, but excellent lighting while they last, with 6 of them in a lambing shed using no more electricity than a single 100w 'normal' bulb. In the tunnels back home, the heat from those 'normal' bulbs never caused an issue, but they were only on when I was working in there, and 4-6" from the polythene. [/QUOTE]
