A little while ago some chap posted a link on FB about Eskom being at the Galleria mall in Toti offering this same service. Seems somewhat legit though I wouldn't just let anyone.

Did you add the LED part? I see only CFL on their brochure.

I copied the email as I received it.

Is this legit?

[ToxicBunny]

If its legit please let us know...

I will gladly let someone come in and replace all my lights for free...

Eskom is busy with initiatives like this. We have a similar one going at work. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if someone is setting up a scam based on it.

http://eskomidm.co.za/esco/form/find/ seems to be a way to find out if a company is formally associated with Eskom

Which i4bsf do seem to be...

Raising the dead here,

But is there a difference between the CFL? and LED globes in terms of usage? I see CFL globes at say 11W and the same W as LED globes - 11W. The obvious difference is the cost. Also, the difference btwn an LED 10W floodlight and an 11W CFL globe (outside light)? I can't note any benefit going to LED? Thanks

My LEDs are under 5 watts each.

[Wasp_21]

Excellent. Many Thanks

Hmm, I haven't seen LED's in the shops yet.

You're going to the wrong shops then I bought (admittedly crappy) led down lighters about 4 years ago
