Amen, brother! Don't need a frickin' light bulb that requires a degree in electrical engineering to operate................
11 months ago I switched to the twisty CFL bulbs from GE. I have ones that are 5000k which is bright white on a sunny day. The lower the number the more yellow it is.
I got ones equivalent to 100 watt that only use 26 watts. I replaced 7 and had not had to replace one since, unlike the incandescent bulbs that burned out every few months. Plus the home is much cooler in the summer. The A/C can keep up now.
