Bill Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Im gobsmacked at the prices of light bulbs in France, and rather fed up that having to save the world has pushd the price of a light bulb up from sterling 0.19 to a quid or two. there are some new LED light bulbs on the market, and they are between 10 and twenty quid each, possibly more in belle france, but take a look on e bay and u can find them for a couple of quid. sold direcftly from china, just make sure that you dont order more than sterling 15.00 in one go , then its a personal import andd free of duty and tax in to the Uk, im sure it should be the same for france, but there has to be another rule doesnt there ! please give me a clue.... whats the going rate for a bag of good quality pellets 15 kilo or similar. if bought twenty or thirty at a time, just want a clue.. thanks.. unable to correct any spelling mistakes as the forum and my computer are not seeing ey e to eye at the moment.. rgds Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommier Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 You've got to shop around! Recently in Leclerc they were selling low energy bulbs for two or three euro each, BUT with the whole cost refunded onto the fidelity card. You can't get cheaper than that!

LED is a step apart from the regular long life bulbs., My electrician gave me one for a tenner , as up to now hadnt been willing to shell out for one. He has a customer, he rewired who untill the discovery of ebay was going to shell out 800 quid on LEDs rgds Bill sorry for spelling punctuation mistakes, unable to correct at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
