Good, I use them, they last for ages.

I used to use them, but no longer. They give off a orange tint and are very bad for photography indoors.They are also very noisy on the medium wave radio as well as short wave.

Unless they can come up with a white light version as well as noise free, then I will stock up on the conventional one's.

Are you serious bugsy ?
Use a different light in the room in which you are photographing or buy a filter or alter with a Photo editing program or get some decent photography lighting.
Same with the radio.....who listens to shortwave anymore ?

OK.....so you carry oyur lighting around with you then Bruv?
I just have my camera a pentax mx with wide angle lens and motor drive + the flash. If we all change to this accursed low energy light bulbs, it would not be practical to carry loads of lighting around wherever one goes.

I listen to medium wave, long wave and shortwave all the time.
I actually just demonstrated to my missus, the noise generated by these low energy light bulbs...and that was only a 20w one, I shudder to try a 100w version

If I was photgraphing in one room I would change or carry my own lighting YES........like any camera man.
Bet you are or was ........a ten four and a rubber duck user too ?
