I don't know about others on here, but I get quite prickly when it comes to such 'planet-saving' technology like energy-efficient lights.
In my garage, I replaced my trusty strip light in the pit for an LED one (I broke the strip light ). The light is great & it supposedly lasts for 20 zillion years. However, in reality these things seem to last for a few years if you're lucky, so I don't know what the total carbon footprint is of their life cycle.
I'm just replacing my 3 year old light that's on the side of the pit:
The 4 strip lights in the ceiling were 2nd hand when installed 20 years ago, get far more use than the pit light & I think I've replaced one tube in all that time
