Compact Floursecent Light Bulb Alert

RStar · 03-08-2007, 05:06 PM

I like to use 4 watt night light fixtures with light sensors throughout the house. This prevents the need to turn on lights when walking through the house at night, and is great for guests who don't know where the switches are.

The other day I was at Home Depot and I spotted these LED nightlights with sensors. They are very cool! A nice blueish light, and seem twice as bright as the 4 watt, and don't flicker off and on a lot at dusk like the incadecent ones. They are rated to last 10 years (no replcing bulbs) and use only 25 cents a year to run.

They came in a three pack and were also sponsored by So Cal Edison...

For under $4 a three pack!!!!!!!!!

I also bought all LED Christmas lights when they were marked down after Christmas. I replaced them all. LED is the way to go!

Crap! I forgot to do that this year! I meant to too...

(stock up on lights this year, that is. Possibly LED ones)

Yeah, I planned my new desplay, drew it out, counted how many strings of what color and size (yes, they have C3, C7, C9 equivelents) and went to all the stores looking for them. I got them all after going to about 6 stores, and spending about $120. I spend about half that in extra electricity per season, so after 3 years I'll be square, and since the lights won't need to be replaced and won't need any bulbs replaced for at least 10-20 years, I'll be saving plenty in the future (and helping the environment in the process).

I saw some compact florecent bulbs at Rite-Aid, a four pack for $2.99. Sponsored by another Electric company (the one form down south, but can't think of it).
