No thanks. I'm waiting for the next technology to come along, something dim-able, I hope.

The stairwells need the immediate lighting that only incandescent currently provide. 2. The front yard lights remain incandescent, as I was unable to find a timer that works with compact fluorescent (went to 2 hardware stores and Home Depot).<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> I’m replacing most of my bulbs with compact fluorescent, except: 1.

Why should you tell me what kind of light bulbs I can buy and use? Let the free market decide. Welcome to 1984 and Big Brother. This is no better than Bush listening in on my phone calls.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1</li> </ul> Yet another example of big government gone crazy.
