We bought a bunch of those spiral-y CFLs when we heard the ban was going to take place. But they didn’t last very long! and were much more expensive than old-fashioned bulbs; and we didn’t like the disposal issues.
That’s the reason we stocked-up on incandescents.
I bought one single CFL and put it in the overhead fixture in my office. That lasted a couple of days. The quality of the light was horrible and the price of the bulb was ridiculous.
For me also that was basically when I decided to stock up on incandescent bulbs.
I just recently changed out four 4 foot double fixtures of fluorescent bulbs in my garage into LED bulbs. What a tremendous improvement.
The idiot contractor who built my house did not put low temperature ballast fluorescent bulbs in. So 6 months of the year I had almost no light in the garage.
