Re: Lightbulb help.

One thing that you have to do these days - pay attention to the colour temp of the bulbs you buy!

At Christmas I decided it was time for my Dad to get swapped from CFL bulbs to LEDs - the CFLs were taking ages to start up so didn't actually help when you needed light.

However I ended ordering the wrong colour temp bulbs from B&Q - ended up with Cool White rather than Warm White bulbs.

Didn't notice until I started swapping them and wondered why the rooms looked odd.

Luckily B&Q are pretty good for their returns policy and manage to swap all that I needed for Warm White bulbs. Actually ended up leaving a couple as Cool White as they seem to be better for reading and working.
