The post about light bulbs - Page 3

I certainly didn't start the post to argue about them. I found some bulbs, thanks to the post. I'm still looking for floodlight bulbs, indoor, 75W. I do feel the new bulbs don't hold a candle (ha,ha) to the incandesents they are replacing. I can't see what I'm doing in my kitchen, anymore. I also learned some information as to why my CFL bulbs don't last. A poster explained why this happens. Thank you all.

I cut way back using my clothes dryer, so that should balance everything out...........

It wasn't your fault.

p.s. Some of the seniors around here were having trouble seeing the many steps in their homes when using the newer (at the time) CFL's. They returned them and asked us to come back and replace them with the incandescant ones they originally had. But, that was a couple or so years ago.

Oh well, what else do we have to do? I didn't realize that thread turned argumentive. I did see it was locked.

Hey, just think what a mess we'd be in if we didn't have any thoughts and opinions............Not a pretty picture.

My daughter is a lighting designer/engineer. She recommended that we start buying LED bulbs. She also prefers Phillips brand over the others. Yes, LED's are expensive, but they are supposed to last longer and she says take less electricity/energy.

Your daughter is right! That is the brand I use and I LOVE THEM. Not one blown out bulb yet, no issues with lighting.

And they come in a slim size, a "regular" looking bulb, so you don't need to be stuck with the curly bulbs
