ITHOUGHT your Grime Watch feature "Keeping the Home Fires Burning" (LET, March 4) about energy-saving measures was a good idea - especially the energy-saving lightbulbs.

I am sure that if those lightbulbs were less expensive, more people would buy them.

Pensioners and those on low incomes will find it very hard to afford £9.99 for only one lightbulb.
