Thread Name: BS: Replacements for incandescent lights
Subject: RE: BS: Replacements for incandescent lights
I've bought about 20 compact fluoro globes over the years. Depending on which room they have been used in and how many hours a day, they have all lasted only about 2 years before deteriorating or failing completely.
They also give a rather horrible light and are made in China which has a dubious record on human rights and the environment.
And now we will be forced to buy them???
Leds are better, they run completely cold unlike compact fluoros in which do heat up.
Still too expensive though....improvements including colour adjustment are promised real soon now?
Lighting uses only a small percentage of the household power (unless you use a lot of those horrid halogen firestarter globes)
