The papers today reported that KPLC are about to put out a tender for these things. Maybe you can look for insider there to give you the low-down...

@j-mo,you wrote 'I recently acquired a shipment of 60watts energy saving bulbs for a biz partner in Uganda,but the deal fell through.Now needless to say am somehow stuck with the of bulbs that i need to offload sharpish. M question is,what other ways would be good in shifting them? The shipment is currently waiting to be shipped out of u.k.'









Why did you buy the bulb in Britain? They just import them from China,slaps on a label,and sells it to you several folds over ... here is where to buy them from in China: http://www.alibaba.com/c...escent.html?searchweb=Y



If not shipped,why can't you cancel the order? It might be easier because you cannot possibly compete at the retail/wholesale level with that kind of procurement.


If unable to get out of the contract,beware very few folks understand about energy saving bulbs and you may want to retail at the niche markets of UN,embassies, international hotels and you may want to bundle it as a service.... (Hire a few guys to change bulbs,after presenting your research that,just in energy savings,the bulbs will pay for themselves in xxx months)


To ALL: Homework; study and get familiar with http://www.alibaba.com/ it will do magic to your budget,and consequently your family/hood/nation ... lets shy away from exploitative / useless British /snobbish handouts aka cosumers to Kenya at insane prices,for things they never made in the first place
