on 4/10/2008 good article someone check out some of mine. please.

on 4/10/2008 In the past, I would have agreed with your about the CFL bulbs, they just didn’t give off as much light as old style incandescent bulbs. However, the technology has improved a lot in the last few years and now I can’t tell the difference once the light is turned on.

Re the energy savings, there is no doubt CFL bulbs use less energy to produce light rather than incandescent bulbs. However, some of the extra energy incandescent bulbs use goes into generating heat which in some situations isn’t a totally bad thing. In fact some folks will argue it’s good.

It all gets a little too technical for me, but from my simple point of view, if I can save some money on my energy use AND get a bulb that has a much longer life then I’m going to use it, so it’s the CFL bulb for me.

on 4/10/2008 Great article...unfortunately I don't care for these types of lightbulbs...I feel like I'm going blind! Is the light bulbs really where we lose a lot of energy to have to even worry about making the switch??
