At home I have a decent solid anglepoise lamp, 30 years and made in the Rhodesian sanctions era. It has a standard bayonet fitting.
I duely found a lamp shop that had the various bulbs and ended up getting a 8 watt white light bulb. Dimmable. Around 30 dollars. But everything is expensive here. 25 year warranty!!!!
The LED bulbs start around 8 dollars for a 1 watt blue. As the wattage increases so does the price. The colour range goes from blue though a yellow range and into a white range until you end up with a pure white - which is what I have.
Absolutely fantastic! Recommended. Will post a couple of pics next week.
Strange thing is our cats hate the light. They avoid the light as if it was something physical. Frequency maybe????

Hi Kevin,
Was just at the local Home Depot and saw the available LED for regular light sockets, yes they are expensive, but like you said they have an amazing longetivity.
Don't know about the cats, these lights are a Light Emitting Diode, maybe they give ultra high freq sounds? I know the heat they produce is far below what flourescents emit.
