Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs: Proceed with Caution
 
Looka here, while ago, JT said he bought one of those new so-called
efficient clothes washing machines, the kind that doesn't use much
water.He said his wife complains that new washing machine doesn't get
clothes as clean as their old Sears Kenmore washing machine did.JT said
he is looking for a good old Sears Kenmore washing machine.

So, if I put a 20,000hz bulb in my front porch light, that will drive
those dogs out there crazy? I Want That!

What kind of range do those 20,000hz bulbs have? Will that 20,000hz bulb
affect my doggy? I always keep my doggy in my house.What name brand and
model are those 20,000hz bulbs?

Thanks for the info, I'd love to drive some of my irresponsible neighbors'
dogs and cats who gallivant around on my property crazy (maybe it even
works as good as the overpriced "animal repellers" you see advertised on
TV).

Don't worry about jane.
jane is detached from the 21st century.
jane uses incandescent lamps and an outdoor TV antenna.
She has no clue about CNN, FOX, MSNBC, C-Span1, 2, and 3
jane thinks Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon, St Reagan, and the bushes are
great American heroes

I never saw a cat or dog affected by CFL lamps.

Jane just might be right.Next time I go to the store, I am going to look
for one of them thar 20,000hz bulbs, while I am loading up on and
hoarding some more General Electric 60 Watt Incandescent Light Bulbs,
Real Light Bulbs.It it affects my little couch buddy doggy though, I
will not use that bulb anymore.

Doggy freaks out everytime I open a new bag of cookies.
WOO WOO WOOF!
Then she runs and gets one of her rubber squeaky doggy toys and thrashes
it around.One of them looks like a bone, she parks it by my foot, I kick
it with my foot, she jumps up and catches it and thrashes it around.

I have a cat that freaks when I dig into a bag of crushed ice, because
of the high-pitched crackling. She has no such reaction when I fire up
the CFLs. I have 5 [ea] 25 Watt deliciously warm CFLs in my studio, 4
of which are base up in old school white surface mount fixtures, fed by
zip cord and Scotchloks.

The yellowish-orange light that incandescent lamps give off is similar to
the color of the light candles emit.

There's no reason that we should stick to that puny sickly color.


- CFL lamps can do a good job of emulating daylight.

Yes they do... and Full Spectrum DayLight CFLs
Can Be Very Good for Your Health too . . .

Regarding energy. When I had incandescent lamps in our high hats I could
warm the room by simply turning the lights on.


This was an indicator of how much extra energy (and money) I needed to
waste during air-conditioning season.


No more. I had these for years. I would never go back.


- You want "Daylight" bulbs, 6500K ...
- revel are better than most CFLs,
- but still lack the brightness and whiteness of Daylight
- ... normal "warm white" or "cool white" are little better
- than incandescent ...

Yes 6500K DayLight CFL Bulbs are very good.

The Full Spectrum CFL Bulbs are even better
and can be Very Good for Your Health too . . .

That's what I was going for when I built the room.
