CFL update
 

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!

Scott,
Whats a CFL?

mm thought I replied to this earlier sorry. Compact Fluoro Light

Is that a light bulb that looks like a dairy queen cone?

:rotf3: :hee:

what??? :D U telling me that doesn't look like a dairy queen cone? :bl2:

I'm a sucker for vanilla :tooth:

I get it dipped....mmmmm..dQ on my street...not good for the figure

Nice plug :D

Careful with cfl's if you have kids, they contain mercury

God I love Dairy Queen,strawberry sundae...yum.

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

I saw CFL and thought there was going to be a discussion on favorites to win the Grey Cup.

We've been saving between $14 and $26 a month now on cfl based on previous bills.

us too, about 75% as bright as normal bulbs, I've been calling them the "Spence" lightbulbs. :usd:

wife made me remove all of them...:think:

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:

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.

In fact, Im gonna go buy some more today.

-Tell'em bout it Salt

so do striped bass
 

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:
