Hello,

what do you think about the expensive energy-saving lamps? Personally, I don’t like them—they are more expensive, don’t produce bright light, and look unattractive.

Hi!
As with everything, so-called energy-saving lamps have both advantages and disadvantages. The important thing, in my opinion, is to use them correctly. Then there really are no disadvantages. If you switch compact fluorescent lamps on and off very frequently, their lifespan is drastically reduced.

Do you mean fluorescent tubes by compact fluorescent lamps? If so—do they really break down quickly with frequent switching? So probably not ideal for a kitchen at home? ;-)

Hello,

When I moved into the apartment where I now live, there were only energy-saving bulbs in the lamps. But the light was so dim that I replaced them. I think that if you make sure to only turn on the lights when you need them, you can do without these energy-saving bulbs.

Best regards,
