We have switched over as the old bulbs burnt out. I just don't think they put out as much light as the older bulbs do. Might just be us, be my wife and I think their is a difference.

At my house we turn off the lights when we leave the room. During the day, open the curtains. We turn off our electronics when not in use. We are conservative in the truest form.

They can. They can be so bright that it's dangerous.

What is the point of a regulation that makes light bulb manufacturers only make light bulbs that are more expensive to make and more efficient?
Why is this a issue on a federal level to begin with. Sounds to me like the original law was dumb to begin with.

See, I never fault anybody for making mistakes speaking off the cuff.
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.”

We do all of that and always did....they still made a tremendous difference. The only issue I have seen with them is with three way lamps and some of the three way bulbs.
