Low Energy Lighting Questions?
- Just watch the videos!

You will have noticed significant media and Internet comment during the past year or so, highlighting the fact that many ordinary light bulbs– that’s the traditional incandescent types – have now been withdrawn from general sale in the UK.

This has raised a number of issues, including the way in which the switch over from incandescent to low energy light bulbs was handled by the Government, health & safety concerns, recycling challenges, the perceived economics of using the new types, and complaints about both performance and light quality.

In order to clarify the facts of what is clearly a complex scenario, we’ve produced a collection of five short videos which have now been posted on YouTube. They feature interviews with Adrian Kitching, Megaman Uk’s Sales Director. He explains simply how common misconceptions have complicated the current situation, and what the true facts are.

If you’ve got unanwered questions about compact fluorescent lamps – that’s CFLs or low energy light bulbs – I’m sure you’ll get the answers by watching these compelling clips. Here are the YouTube links….
