- I switched to the compacts in a few places about 5 years ago when imports became available at decent prices. I use them in places where I havent been able to train my wife or remaining at home son to

- To put the energy saving in context - you use a 20W low energy bulb instead of 100W incandescent for 12 hours and save about 1kWh. The equivalent is about 1/9th of a litre of gasoline (1/30th US gall

- When I get my foot into my 68 Impala SS-396 the savings is gone for the next 10 years. I just got tired of burnt out bulbs. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list

- You pay a fair amount more up-front for the CFL bulbs and I have seen nowhere near the lifetime they are claiming. They blow around here all of the time and I would be surprised if I was getting a ye

- Very interesting Carl. I would call the current stash of CFL third generation. I started back in the middle 80's trying out 1 lamp in my house. IT BURNED OUT QUICKLY. I returned it and they gave me a

- As a follow up. Just had two more CFLs die tonight -- AFTER I wrote the above note. A fixture of three of them had been on much of the day while I worked under them. Turned them off for a half hour

- Our line voltage is showing 117-118 on the UPS which is typical through the house. The shop which is on its own transformer runs 119-120. Even with 5 computers running my bill is pretty close to wha

- I've also experienced short life-times with some CFLs I installed about 5 years ago. Probably no more than a few hundred hours of operation, far less than an incandescent bulb and certainly far less

- Do they fade in the same way that 'regular' fluorescent tubes do? I had to dismantle a fixture to replace a dead tube at work, so I thought I'd do all four while I was there. I was staggered by the e

- I'm sure that there are several versions made in several plants. Some good, some bad. The ones I have take about 30 seconds to get full brilliance and are somewhat close to the color of incadescents

- I've not noticed it with the ones in the house, but out in the garage they have changed to a warmer color, or the new one is much whiter, I'm not sure which. When one goes out in the house maybe I'l

- There must have been some improvements in CFL's recently. We have a light fixture in the den that has 4 bulbs. Our line voltage runs about 126V and I was replacing incandescent bulbs at the rate of 1
