CFL Bulbs

[Ziggy]

Go LED, you won't be sorry.
I gave up on the cfl's. Being energy aware I changed to them several years ago......but Now everything I put in is LED. The light is way cleaner and they don't look like funky curly fries. The 2700k light is soft, 3000k is perfect in my opinion, the 3500k temp starts to get too blue indoors.
Costco has been a good source for me on the A19 bulbs. Also just replaced 22 recessed lights at a rental home with bulbs from Costco. Those 22 bulbs save over 1000watts of electricity over the incandescent that were in there. You can leave security lights on without feeling too guilty about energy use, some use barely what a night light would.
Won't take long to get the ROI on those.

cfl's, just like any florescent, start to darken at the ends and loose efficiency. You tend to replace them just as often as incandescent so they stay bright. LED's don't do that. On top of that, cfl's have mercury in them so you're supposed to recycle them and not just trash 'em. Lowes and HomeDepot have bins for that at their entrances, at least.
