I will say, though, that the newest types of spiral fluorescent bulbs,

I wish all my neighbors would swap out those old noisy ones
they like to leave running 24/7.
Nothing but the newer quiet ones here,
and other than the 15w in the fridge, no incandescent relics.



I bought my next door neighbors one about 25 years ago. The one they had
was amazingly bad, and they had it going from 630 AM to 11 PM, every
single day. They sometimes left the light on all night, too. I finally
just went and talked to them about it, and told them I would put a new
one if out of my own pocket. The woman next door was from London
originally, and she wondered why the BBC wasn't coming in as well as it
used to. She had an old Grundig SW that she listened to it on every
morning. That sold her on it, so they gave me the ok to swap it out. I
got one that really didn't bother anything at all, and as far as I know,
it's still there.
