Re: Re: 100 watt light bulbs

[mal@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not against technology, or I wouldn't be on this list.  I am
against new technology that doesn't work or live up to expectations
(I think I may have undermined my first point there!).  I've yet to
see a CFL that provides a decent light.

The box of old-tech bulbs is just to carry me over until something
better comes along - I'll happily switch to LEDs when they solve the
fugliness/cost issues.  In the meantime, the govenerment can take a
running jump.

Incandescent bulbs are old crappy technology - and the recent sets
of CFL bulbs that I have put in place are gorgeous. They come on
instantly, rather than the hideous slow start, they have a really
nice pleasant light rather than the sickly yellow...
and they are now, finally, available at decent prices.
For what it's worth, I have seen a marked improvement over the last
2 years - I bought a couple of CFLs from IKEA and was pretty much
appalled - totally old school, with all the usual problems.
the Phillips ones I bought last weekend on the other hand - state of
the art. 11W units, so nice and bright - instant on (properly), lovely
even white colour... brilliant.
CFL is here, large EL panels in place of wallpaper are coming, so
are super brightness LEDs...
the future of lighting is (hah!) bright - but crappy old 100w bulbs
are not it.
good riddance to them!
