light bulb

Re: light bulb

Mostly incandescent...

The fluorescent ones don't fit in my light fixtures (mostly ceiling fans). I have tubes in the garage and carport. The front and back porch are the small "twisty" fluorescent ones. One of the 2 has already been replaced once. It didn't last a year.

Re: light bulb

Old fashoned here except a few reading lights are neon. I have 10 kerosein lamps, and lots of candles also, back when it used to rain and storm we had lots of power failures. But now we live in a desert where it hardly ever storms and i dont need the kerosein lamps much, I also have a few (3 or 4) coleman lanterns that run on white gas. And I recently purchased a couple of propane powered lanterns. I have 10 or 12 flashlights, a multitude of led cap lights for fishing. I have a couple of backup generators, for when the sandstorms blow down the power lines. Anybody got any of thoes shake up flashlights? Back to the point I think Im gona go with all Gore and start switching to the new energy effecient bulbs. I wonder why they started putting the red dye in the bulk kerosein? It cost too much at tractor supply to run as on road fuel? ? ?

Hey !386 try the "Philips Marathon60", had the same problem 'till I found those, (with a very narow base like a regular IC bulb). Re: Money savin' question by Rolmops, I have not done the cost vs benifits with present value, (using these low interest rates we have today), sooooo I really don't know the answer. That said: I'm basicly a procrastinatin' n' somewhat lazy ol' far* so I like the fact that I don't have ta climb the ol' ladder so much anymore after screwin' 'em in. JR 8)8)

The wife actually bought 'em because they're supposed to last longer. Since one of the 2 already died, I'm in the hole already money wise. :'( I'll keep my eye out for the one you mentioned. Thanks.
