NO squiggly fluorescents, ALL old-fashioned incandescent...

Planning to "stock-pile" those, too, before they're all gone...call me old-fashioned (apparently, the Edison descendants would - LOL!), but the light is just better!

Also, we have a relatively new "chandelier"-type kitchen light fixture that uses medium/small "candle-flame" shaped bulbs...it's a pretty standard design, but there are no flourescents available with the right size base for the sockets, even if we wanted that "shade" of light, and a coil design instead of a fake candle-flame, which we most assuredly don't!!

Actually they probably do make the appropriate size for your chandelier. I have one with the small bases and the home improvement stores have curly bulbs with a base attachment. That's the one that was faulty for me.

If I had not bought any of these bulbs when the gov. started pushing them, I would be balking at it, but I did it for efficiency.

Oh, and I took the curly flame bulbs out of the dining room chandelier because it doesn't give enough light.
