We switched over to LED. They’re $10 at Costco, and I’ll be dead before they need to be changed. The light LED bulbs put out is really nice, and they can be used with dimmers.
Costco also sells 18’ rope light LEDs for $17.
And you can string about 300’ together.
How do they compare with incandescents, for light quality? Brighter? Dimmer?
I've been waiting for LED's to hit a pricepoint that's affordable. Basically, I hoarded enough incandescents to get me through a few years until I can go to LED's. They just make sense, low power and last forever.
After buying a new house and finding that ALL (not a couple, but ALL) of the CFL's the former owners used were badly scorched, there's no way I'll purchase one of those.
And, as an aside - I've not had any trouble finding 100W bulbs. Everyplace still seems to be carrying them. What if Congress passed a law, and no one paid any attention. :-)
