I'm going to fit two lights in the same room. The problem is they don't have line and neutral marked. If I get one the wrong way
round will they be in antiphase, and will this make the room get darker when I turn the light on?

This is UK-DIY isn't it? I posted this message earlier but it didn't appear.

Tesco were doing an offer of 11W CFL candle bulbs for 10p, so I got a basket full
for the hall chandeliers here at Graham Mansions.
I kid you not, when you turn them on the room gets darker!

It takes three full minutes for the brightness to approach that of those
that are already warmed up.
There's no good reason to keep Hg out of our children's brains if they
are going to die from falling down the stairs due light-bulbs deficient of same...

....And another thing, why do people say things like three full minutes, I mean if they
were half minutes that would have added up to 1½ minutes and I would have said so.
