Fine, fine! How about some light bulbs?



We now have nothing but compact flourescents in use in every spot we can put them. These bulbs all work but are at varied ages. They are guaranteed to work right now, but I have no clue how long they'll last. There are 4 bulbs in that Sylvania box that are brand new.

So here's what we got.

4 brand-new in-box 60 watt Sylvania Double Life soft white bulbs
3 used 60 watt flame tip candalabra base bulbs
2 used GE 60 watt ultrasoft longlife bulbs
1 used 60 watt soft white bulb
1 used 150 watt GE soft white bulb
1 used 100 watt soft white Sunbeam bulb (yeah, this one's from the range hood)
4 used 40 watt longer life soft white Philips bulbs (two have a bit of blue paint on it)
1 used 60 watt GE xtra life soft white bulb (bit of paint here too)
1 used 60 watt longlife white GE bulb (bit of brown paint)

ETA - I found one more 75 watter, not pictured.

I was going to sell this box on eBay but while researching it realized that it wasn't worth as much as I thought it was.

I don't wish to help people waste watts, but if you know someone who isn't buying compact flourescents any time soon and would like free bulbs, let me know. I will not throw these away. I may smash them for fun though....

That reminds me. I have to go to the post office. Sorry Crystal!

You've actually catalogued your used light bulbs.


Maybe Main Street could use them? Never know, now that Ouimet's gone......

[Not Afraid]

Can you ship the light bulbs to me - second day air please.

Only because I was going to sell them on eBay.

NA, you really want 'em?

[Not Afraid]

No, I don't want them. I will give you back your Jesus, however.

For the record, H just called you guys "fvcking heroes" for going fluorescent.

Give her a real-life mojo for me

We actually started going flourescent quite a few years back. Bought a few and replaced old bulbs as they died. Then the Irvine Company decided to give us a bunch (as well as a blanket for the water heater and some fans for hot days). We got ourselves to complete flourescents except the specialty fixtures long before we moved out.

When we moved in here we took all the bulbs with us and bought more so we could go completely low-watt at the get-go. We tried to put some in the in-set lights in the kitchen but they looked awful - dim and reminiscent of a morgue. Sadly, we have to stick to incandescent there, as well as the dining room, because it's got a dimmer switch. When the hell are they going to master dimmer flourescents, eh?

Anyway. Don't you love boring household stories?

We've been doing the same thing - replacing incandescents with fluorescents - since the compact florescent light quality has greatly improved. But our last batch looked like the sickly fluorescents of old, so now I'm trying to be a bit more brand aware so I don't make that mistake again

I have a tiki birdhouse that I got at a Christmas gift exchange thing. It used to be CoasterMatt's.
