Reply #292: I like 'em better because they give better amount of light for fraction of watts [View All]

Also don't bother my migraines any worse than any other light source. My state had a rebate program recently which made the compact fluorescents 50 cents so I bought as many as the program allowed. The kind I got can't take cold temperature so I am using up the old incandescents only in unheated areas of the house.

also I used to use night lights to keep me from stumbling if I got up at night which I have switched to little square LED night lights which use 0.03 watts :) I have found if I stick 'em in a power strip surge protector so they face the ceiling it will light up most of the room quite nicely. There is the additional bonus that LEDs don't give off heat so I worry about anything touching it and starting a fire. I hope LED bulbs come down in price so I can try those made for regular fixtures
