Re: [RFI] CFLs and LEDs

["Dan Violette" <danki6x@earthlink.net>]

I had the opposite.  Started about 8 years ago and replaced mostly the whole
house with CFLs.  Only had 3-4 that are not still running (including lights
in all ceiling fans) and average electric bill dropped about $5/mo that
first year when I checked.  Did not replace outdoor nor 3-way lamps.  Dan

Do far my experience with CFL's has been very poor.  I mark the date in
service on each one as I install it.  6 months is the longest one has lasted
with a couple a little as 2 weeks.  Overall, I would rate them as more
expensive than incandescent bulbs.  Reduced power consumption does not
offset the initial price.  I am going to have to replace two more 100W
equivalent ones this morning.
