(by Phil Heinzl) I have included a rather mundane photo about these eco lights. It isn't about the how economical they are or the wrong type of light etc., but more of a precaution for those who have them. We noticed one which was lit and working correctly, had in fact split and was exposing its innards (how rude). On closer examination we found that the heat generated by the bulb had caused the plastic to disintegrate around its base and fall apart, thus making it almost impossible to remove without the use of pliers. Just a bad bulb I hear you say ... not so, we went to remove a second bulb and found the exact same problem. These bulbs are not cheap to buy and if they reportedly last longer than the conventional bulb, then maybe they should be made so as we can validate the manufacturers claims. (Fat chance of that happening!)
