End the fluorescent headaches out there. My girl friend had that problem for years. Turns out switching to LED tube lights did the trick in her office. She told he boss and within 3 months they made the switch. The crazy thing is they cut their lighting electric bill in half too. I didn’t know it at the time but they now offer LED in the U-Shape bulbs that bend around. They call them U-Tube LED bulbs. I guess anywhere can use them now.

I’m thrilled to see so much discussion about energy efficiency, whatever the opinion. As an energy-efficient lighting vendor I’ve found the best method of increasing awareness is simply informing my consumers about the latest products. The fact is that when they purchase energy efficient CFL or LED light bulbs they do see the savings on their energy bills. There is a lot of discussion about government mandates and whatnot; while this does benefit my business, I think simply selling the newer bulbs on their own merit is the best way to go.

I use the curlies for the bedroom cuz the ceiling is 9 feet up and I don’t have a ladder. I’d rather deal with them than deal with a cracked open brain…but then the lamp shade is a half inch thick and frosted, take that UV! I get a very old fashioned yellow light. Another trick is sticking a curly bulb inside a Chinese cloth globe lamp. You can choose what kind of light you want. I do save $$ because I need to run the lights, very little natural light reaches my bedroom.

I agree with Kevin.Fluorescent Light bulbs are more efficient, where as it consumes more power.It is a strain reading under the fluorescent light bulbs, So it is better to choose Normal bulbs which we are currently using.Thanks for sharing this information.

They make new fluorescent bulbs that give off a more incandescent look.

Environmentalists have lied to us over and over again.

When will we stop listening?

Actually you SHOULD switch back to the energy wasters because in the long term those ones are BETTER for the environment! The “energy efficient” ones are long term BAD for the environment. If you break one you have to evacuate your home. What’s inside is hazardous waste.

Just recently over in England every single worker at a factory that had replaced all their bulbs with the “safer” ones all ended up getting mercury poisoning – FROM THE BULBS!

Trust me, the old fashion energy wasters are WAY “greener” then these curly lightbulbs of death!
