View Full Version : CFL update UserRemoved1 05-01-2006, 01:02 PM It's been a while and I figured I'd update everyone with the results after a few months of usage...We're saving average of 132 kwh of use since converting to cfl in any fixture we could. This works out to $8.02 delivery and $14.15 supplier services, so we're saving around $22 a month just in conversion to cfl in all the lites. Not bad everything pays for itself in just about 6 months in the savings alone! pmueller 05-01-2006, 02:55 PM Scott, Whats a CFL?

RIJIMMY 10-29-2007, 03:58 PM I tried them in my house and they just are not bright enough they have to warm up to I do have them in places I don't need to see well. but I am not a fan of them. I thought murcury was illegal us too, about 75% as bright as normal bulbs, I've been calling them the "Spence" lightbulbs. :usd: Slingah 10-29-2007, 04:31 PM wife made me remove all of them...:think: UserRemoved1 10-29-2007, 04:37 PM WHY??? We've gotten very much used to them. Still need the brighter lites in places like the bathrooms but I'm still glad we switched them. This bill today says it too. Slingah 10-29-2007, 04:43 PM WHY??? We've gotten very much used to them. Still need the brighter lites in places like the bathrooms but I'm still glad we switched them. This bill today says it too. she didnt like the light...:doh: I bought a load of them and switched them all out....damn things cost me money :laughs: EarnedStripes44 10-30-2007, 08:44 AM yes i started using those, $.99 each at True Value. They turn 60 watts of brightness into 13 watts. The light is a little softer too, but in a good way. If it ain't bright enuff, put in some more. 2 CFLs at 13 watts a pop is still under half of the usage of a 60 watt bulb. EarnedStripes44 10-30-2007, 08:47 AM In fact, Im gonna go buy some more today. -Tell'em bout it Salt Raven 11-05-2007, 06:54 AM Careful with cfl's if you have kids, they contain mercury but gunpowder still hasn't got back to me with a report from the woods hole scientists as to just "how much" mercury striped bass contain. i for one would like to know.... because the media is saying to eat fish twice a week and then you hear reports of contamination too :huh: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
