If the government makes me switch to Gorebulbs, my room will either be colder, or my regular heating system will need to cycle more often to keep my room the same temperature.
I like Gorebulbs for some applications, but if you multiply lumens by life and divide by cost, incandecents are cheaper, simpler (no ballast to chuck into a landfill), don’t use mercury, and warm the room they are in by convection, and warm me by direct radiation in the IR, something a Gorebulb cannot do.
For outdoor use where the heat is dumped into the air without people to appreciate the warmth, some other tech may be appropriate, but for most indoor uses the old nitrogen-filled glass filament lamp has its advantages.
Those of us that keep reptiles, turtle and other such creatures can not use CFL’s as a basking lamp. The idiots.... How will a CFL keep Zack and Mack, my two headed turtle warm and alive? Jeez...
