But I still need to process them differently from the other trash. It must be delivered with the small chemical waste. Which nobody does, because you must bring it to the dump yourself (or maybe, depending on where you live, you can make an appointment when they'll pick it up), whereas the normal waste gets picked up at your house every week. At least, here in the Netherlands.

I have one of these. And the smaller ones (= shorter ones) also have less wattage. And it's in the main lamp of the room, so I need a fairl amount of light (it's not on that often though).

We have a few LED lamps (ordinary bulbs) and they turn on instantly... You can only see the difference between a LED bulb and a standard bulb if you look at the text on the bottom of it. Or when you touch it
And we also have a few LEDs in the hallway. And as soon as we find LEDs that can be dimmed, we'll replace those incandescents. And we need some small LEDs to replace those hallegen lamps in the bedroom as well (can't find them though...)
