Wait....
are the lights still styling?
Or did you give that up to make them fit?

And I think you are supposed to be dead by the
time the techno-advanced bulbs need replacing.

I was recommended to invest in precious metals. Would you recommend silver, platinum, gold or palladium? What about bullions, coins and bars?

1 ounce gold American Eagle or 1 ounce gold Canadian Maple Leaf? The American does have a slight edge at this point in time.

The new LEDs are really nice and throw off a lot of light. To compare lights, look for the "lumens", the amount of light output. Look for 400 to 500 lumens. The warm white have a softer, yellow tint where the other bright light are very white.

I buy from China via Ebay. Be careful with the light socket.

For the candle bulbs, it's E12 base, for the standard bulbs, it's E26 base.

The LEDs are becoming more attractive and they save quite a bit of energy, on the order of 75%. But they are a bit pricey unless you go the Ebay route.

I've purchased from IKEA at about $5 a bulb and they work very nicely and produce quite a bit of light.

Also, you can now dim many of them.

LEDs are very good for those spots up high and they work outside too.

Oh, Ricky, I'm home. Still waiting on that second opinion to my query...

Ding, ding, ding, anybody here? I am still waiting on my query. The service here is appalling.

Ohhh.. my bad I forgot I even started this topic.... on second thought I think I'm going to jump ship.... I have a hard enough time coming up with a first opinion... let alone a second one lol..

I cry FOUL!!! What's that smell?

Hmm.. I don't know have you checked your flower lately lol

And your dawgs funny looking too...

What?

Oh it's not an opinion about No1


I see


Hey folks, scratch that...sorry...my bad


ha ha...nice dawg No1, fine specimen

Bye

Are you .. trying to make fun of my Dawg.. .. you do know he can't read write?

The spiral CFL's do last quite a bit longer (at least for me). I started using them a few years ago after somebody gave me a box for free. I've noticed particularly in my downstairs (where I typically leave lights on 24/7) that they last a LOT longer than the ol' regular type. I live next to train tracks so the vibration from that was REALLY killing bulbs pretty fast. The CFL's seem fairly immune to it. I've also found that they work nicely in drop lights. Ya know, the kind you use when working on cars. Use regular bulbs in those and they break if you just breathe on them wrong and the 'special' bulbs meant for that are SUPER pricey. The CFL's don't seem to mind getting bounced around (and to a point, dropped....).

I'm not so sure about them being good for the environment though. Yeah, they last longer meaning they'll be less in landfills and use less energy to use, but look what they're made out of and what it takes to make them vs incandescent bulbs. The CFL's have little circuit boards (likely not very eco-friendly) and has mercury (highly poisonous) as well as phosphorus (also potentially quite dangerous) in them.

Ok.. thank you for yet another post about light bulbs lol..

ok the light bulbs were just a example..
oh nevermind I am so out of this topic..
where's the cord you pull to have the curtain drop down on this stage..
... exiting stage right ....

I don't know, lover. You liked the scent last night. You couldn't get enough.

Sweet! Then that'd mean that I'm one step closer to not being 30-40 years behind the times! Then again, they say that sooner or later everything comes back into style, so maybe all these years I've just been ahead of the times..... Maybe I just gotta get me one of them Deloreans with a flux capacitor.....

Great...now if I could only get my lovely long hair back

You're welcome to take any that I find in my shower drain.

Maybe those AOL disks they kept sending in the mail will come back again. I could use more coasters.

Untapped my a$$. I'm making a killing off of The Donald!

..ohhhhh...k..

Don't give me that look.
