Energy saving light-bulbs - where to get nice fittings for these anyone?

Alot of households in the UK have been issued with free samples/supplies of energy saving lightbulbs. However they don't give off great light and most people now want nice bright light fittings in their rooms (i.e. not cold, dim, grey miserable light sources with e.g, just one bulb). These bulbs are excellent, they last for years and years and this is ideal for people trying to operate on a budget. We'd love to use our supply up (Phillips Genie 11 Watt/60Watt Energy Saver and Megaman SU111 Compact 2000). They don't look nice though - are a bit clumsy looking and lack elegance plus there really needs to be some new and exciting lighting design fittings for e.g., ceiling lights, standard lamps, etc need to be designed and marketed. It would be great to do away with the horrid hallogen ('trendy') bulbs we have at the moment. But I'm having trouble finding fitments to accommodate the energy saving (Phillips and Megaman supplies I have). I'd love to get rid of the hallogen bulbs they're extortionately priced at around �2.50 each and last on average one month. An ordinary 60 or 100 watt lightbulb costs something like 60p and lasts around one year. There's very little recourse to getting your money back from hallogen bulbs when they don't work. Are there any designs on the market at the moment who sell modern or traditionally fashioned fittings that are well designed to create a brightly lit room with a little elegance, concealing the sort of ugliness of a traditional bulb or the new energy-saving ones that lots of people have supplies of?
