I don't like fluorescent light bulbs.From now on when I go to the food
store,I am going to start stocking up on good old G.E.Real Incandescent
Light Bulbs,the 60 Watters.I am going to clean off the top shelves in
the closets in my house and stack em up in cardboard boxes.When fed govt
starts shoving fluorescent light bulbs (so-called light bulbs) down
everybodys throats,I will still be wasteing my electricity that I pay
for on my good old G.E.Real Incandscent 60 WATT LIGHT BULBS.
cuhulin,the Electricity Waster dude.Waste Mo Electricity,you can't take
it with you

I couldn't find the article about flourescent bulbs, but there was a
lot of other
good reading. Thanks for the link.

WARNING - Got Radio Noise ? Some CFLs produce RFI at 2.65 MHz
(5.37.9510.613.2515.918.5521.2) and 13.6 MHz (27.2)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact...ther_CFL_techn...

Try Natural {Full Spectrum} "Daylight" CFLs* that are "Daylight"
(5000 K - 6500 K) rated and produce a slightly Bluish-White light.

* Note "CFL" means Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)

Usually about Three-Times (3X) the cost of an old fashion
Incandescent Electric Light Bulb even those nice GE
"Reveal" Bulbs with the Blue Tint.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

On-the-Plus-Side - CFL's use about 1/4 the Electricity
(Power / Energy) as the older Incandescent Light Bulbs.
ENERGY = http://www.lightsofamerica.com/light-cfl.htm

On-the-Plus-Side - CFL's last, and Last and LAST usually
about 6-Times and up to 10-Times the life of the older
Incandescent Light Bulbs.
SERVICE = http://www.lightsofamerica.com/light-cfl.htm

The-Bottom-Line - Overall CFLs have a 'lower' Lifetime Total Cost
then the older Incandescent Light Bulbs. {They Save You Money}

Good-for-the-Planet - CFL's are simply better for the Environment
then the older Incandescent Light Bulbs.
Note - Most CFLs are "Energy Star" Rated
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENERGY_STAR

TIP - I personally like Lights-of-America CFLs that use the
"FluoreX Technology" in their 'SunLight Bulb' which produces
a Natural Spectrum Light to counter the effects of "SAD"
Seasonal Affective Disorder.
SAD = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasona...ctive_disorder
DAYLIGHTS = http://www.activeandable.com/products/241

Note - If you can find them the Lights-of-America CFL
LoA = http://www.lightsofamerica.com/
Model # 2830 S "Mushroom" shaped CFL Daylight Bulb
is rated as a 135 Watt Light Output [ this is a good
'replacement for a 100-150 Watt Incandescent Bulb ]
with only 30 Watts of Energy use. These used to be
about $8.66 at Walmart - but getting hard to find there.
