I don't know about you guys, but I like my filament bulbs in the winter.
The lack of efficiency just helps heat the room I am in, so no big deal.
My summer bulbs are CFL's, soon to be LED's when the price comes down to
something a mere mortal can afford.

In the winter, this is probably true - what you lose on light
efficiency you save on heating. *Then, the question becomes - per unit
of tangible heat energy, what costs less - the electricity to light
the bulb or the "other" source?

I am sure this can be calculated, but not by this guy! :-)

I have a big reason to not want the CFL's in the winter, radio noise.
DX sucks in the summer and the noise level goes up in the evenings when
everybody turns on their energy saving noise makers.

Understood, the older ones were terrible - but the new ones I have
purchased are RF quiet as a mouse. *If there is any noise, it's much
lower than the background. *I can have all these new CFLs in the house
off or on and the radio S/N is the same.

Don't ask me which brand just now - I'd have to run and get the
package from the garage; but if you shy away from CFLs, this is one
less reason to do so.

- HI - I'd have to unscrew 30 bulbs - and even at that, these new ones
- make no difference at all. *The noise of the bulbs are below the
noise
- floor of the radio and the atmosphere, even on quiet days.

BpnJ,

That's a whole lot of un-screw-ing to do
in just one night * much simpler *
Run the Radio on Batteries and Kill the House's Mains

Honestly if you do this and can not hear a
difference : Then the background RFI/EMF
Noise in your neighborhood is so high that
CFLs are in-fact relatively 'noise free' as far
as your home rf environment is concerned.

and that is cfl'ing good for you :o) ~ RHF

I won't deny that - I have said about a hundred times that the RFI
here is intense at times. However, even when it is RF quiet - and
that does happen late at night - the bulbs are quiet.

I know this is hard for you to accept, so I won't try any longer, but
you need to understand that the world progresses even if you don't.

Perhaps. But then again denial and
concurrence without questioning
will get you just as far.

Yes, paranoia will get you far.

You are slowly dying already from the crap in coal and oil smoke.
Mercury on the floor is manageable; extensive air pollution, once out,
is not. You have your poison and I have mine, and I know which one
I'd rather take my chances with.

You'd think that with the money he saved by not installing light
switches, he could eat rather well.

I now wonder how his ten megawatts of solar panels are connected.
Probably switched by a photo cell.....
