I have to chime in here. My experience with CFL's has been dismal. I have
tried to find some that were made in the US but so far that has not been the
case.
Can we please try to make a matrix of bad vs good or is the jury still out?
My first inclnation is that China is still pumping the same-o-same-o shit
and no one
not even out government seems to care......
