However, you will get better reception if you give your neighbors a
case of shiny new incandescent bulbs before it is too late. |

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. regards, Antti J.

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. |

Radioactive Coal We all have to burn something, or the other, or we will freeze to death. You know how to use scissors and cut out a paper spiral and hang it over an Incandescant Light Bulb with a piece of thread and watch it twirl around. cuhulin |

Incandescent Light Bulbs make good hand warmers too, when it is cold
weather.Get an Incandescent Light Bulb and glue a Light Bulb socket on to a good Bulb.Get a bowl of sand and put the Light Bulb in the bowl of sand so that the glued on socket is sticking up at an angle.Plug in the Light Bulb and turn it on, hide the cord real good, you can drill a hole in a plastic or wooden bowl for the cord. tHat is a ''Trick'' I once saw in a Popular Science magazine back in the 1950s. cuhulin |

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 can verify that 110%. I fired up my Hammarlund a few months back and got a loud buzzing at 60 or 120 Hertz and thought I had a bad filter cap. I turned off the ceiling light (2 CFL's from China) and it got better, not great but better. Then I found we had one for a front porch lite and turned it off and could hear the noise diminish from my radio. I found a few neighbors with them and asked them if they could turn them off for 5 minutes and I had just about 5 minutes of good radio. It does not matter whether it is a $$0.99 unit from Wal-mart or a $5.00 American named unit from Home Depot, they are the same guts. Until this gutless country tells China they had better control the noise, and quit putting name brands on junk bulbs it will only get worse. I have a bicycle headlight that can be shined on the ceiling and provide plenty of light most of the night. Not all things are what you hear on television. Bill Baka |

This month's electric bill is over $700 (they raised the electric rates last month). We have a 'graduated scale' billing system. If we used less than 100KWH in a month (totally impossible), our power would be about 4 cents per KWH. The second 100 KWH is billed at 10 cents/KWH, the third at 15 cents, the fourth at 22 cents, the fifth at 35 cents, and over that at 62 cents per KWH.

You are getting completely raped on you electric bill. What appliances short of an electric dryer can possibly take that much? Central heating? Three things: Computers, Refrigerators and A/C. I have 2 Computers, one over/under Refrigerator, 2 window A/C units, and a stand alone freezer that is turned on lowest just to keep the compressor kicking over a few times a day. My bill is only about $60-$80. We have a graduated scale that starts at about 12 cents per KWH, then goes up at 500 KWH, which is considered the 'baseline' below which people can't even afford to turn on lights or cook. At 1,000 KWH it goes up again to about 23 cents. We usually manage to keep it at about 700 KWH since the window air units are so much more efficient than a central unit. Mind you, our power bill is being broken up into three pieces, as we actually have three different 'drops', one for each apartment (we live in two apartments that have been conjoined) and one for the basement, which also feeds my shop.
