There is actually something to what he said. CFL's, even the newer, quieter
ones, put out RFI. Incandescents do not.

That being said, there will come a time when the change must be made for the
sake of the ecology (and, if not the ecology, then your power bill!).

As soon as the new LED TV's come down in price (doggone are those things
NICE!), I will be replacing our PDP sets with them, and save about 60% on
the cost of watching TV...

I have a lamp on my desk which contains a power LED, some 3 W, 235V.

It gives less light than an incancescent bulb.... More research and
development is needed. *But it doesn't seem to emit RFI.

I plan on burning the hot, inefficient, power hungry incandescent
bulbs the rest of my life.

I wants me a BIG LED tv, wall to wall and ten feet tall.

May I ask why?

Every week when I go to the lumber store I buy two packages of
incandescent bulbs. I do not like the new designs which are noisy and
contain who knows what materials inside. I've heard there is MERCURY
inside them. That's totally obscene. We need to keep the Mercury in
the children's vaccines where it belongs. In the wintertime I don't
think incandescent bulbs are really inefficient as we are heating the
house up anyway.

Y'all ran JD off, y'all ran Les Locklear off, y'all ran Brian Hill off,
y'all ran Telamon off, y'all ran Michael Bryant Off, y'all ran Burr
off,,,,,, Who y'all going to run off next?

Who cares what's inside them; you're not going to eat them. More
mercury is scattered over the countryside producing the extra Watts
required by your coal-burning lamp.

I have been using fluorescent lamps exclusively for 20 years; there's no
way I'd go back to the incandescents.

Though you can still buy incandescent lamps here, almost no one uses them.
This is because energy is so blankety-blank expensive here. Trust me, when
Americans are paying 60 cents per kilowatt hour in the US, they'll quit
clinging to energy-hungry devices. Our light bill averages something like
$500-600 a month during the summer, and that's with only using an air
conditioner at night so we can sleep (and that only in the bedroom). I'd
hate to think what the power bill would be if we replaced all our CFL's with
incandescents using 5x the power..
