I've been using compact fluorescents alot and have been quite happy with thenm.

at least one of us is.

Me? I'm stock piling incandescent bulbs (60s and 100s) so when the day comes soon when they will no longer be able to be purchased I can use mine. They might make great gifts! I can join organized crime and sell these bulbs on the street corner fer big bucks one day to supplement my pension.

Thanks for the chuckle Harbinger!!!!!

Anybody tried using them for outside lights? Ha, ha, when its cold, they sure tell you it is. Maybe they could put little heaters under them for outdoor use but then where would the savings come in?

lol - I put them out in my soffet lights to save some money... except now I leave them on all evening because they take so long to warm up. hmmmmmmm
