That is good to know. I always wondered why ancient cities had to be dug
out of the ground. Why shouldn't they be above ground the way they were a
couple of thousand years ago?

This explains it nicely.

MnM,
.
Direct (Screw-In) Halogen Bulbs should be as RF Quiet
as the older 'standard' Incandescent Bulbs.
Some Halogen Desk Lighting Systems use a Transformer

Yes mine are in a fixture and I would imagine there's some kind of
transformer in there.


A ''halogen'' bulb is simply an incandescent with gas, rather than a
vacuum, inside the bulb. It still uses 90% of the energy going into
it to produce heat, rather than visible light.

$8 a bulb is way too high for a CF. Try the 5-packs at Home Depot.

It definetily kicks out the heat, especially when its cranked up to 300W.
Would come in handy in the winter.


Remember the halogen floor lamps that started fires? If a curtain
happened to get draped across the top, the bulb was SO hot that it would
ignite the curtain. After that, I was VERY cautious about using halogen
lamps. I recently put a halogen fixture in my bathroom, but only because
all the other fixtures at Home Depot used incandescents.

If the SunLight Bulb is truly superior, then $8 is a reasonable price.
If it becomes popular, then we will see lower prices.

We are getting a real good rain here right now in Jackson on my bald
headed roof and my DirecTV is Searching for satellite signal.

I made a typo,it is the GE Reveal (I got up and looked at the package)
60 (60 watt) light bulbs I use.There was a guy at the Goodwill store
this afternoon useing one of those hand held picker upper thingys trying
to pick something up off the floor.The gal sitting behind the cash
register told him,If you poke it,usully it will stand up.

Something about the electronic circuit in them flourescent light bulbs,I
guess.My lamp I use is a very old metal floor lamp with a gooseneck on
it,I bought the lamp at a Goodwill store many years ago.It sits between
my end of doggys couch between the end of the back of the couch and my
computer which sits on an end table by my end of the couch.I am not
going to change the arrangement either just for a stupid screw in
flourescent light bulb.I am very happy with the arrangement just the way
it is.Besides,changing old style light bulbs once in a while is
something I dont mind doing.To me,it is all part of normal house
keeping.

You have a yard? Put a rock or something on top of your yard/grass/dirt
and dont disturb that rock or whatever.If you wait long enough,it will
gradually sink on down completly out of sight and other dirt will
gradually cover the rock completly over.Dirt is soft stuff and
harder/heavier things sink into the dirt or sand.

Those old cities,most of them anyway,weren't built on bedrock,hence,they
sink.
