CFL’s are OK for some applications.. say a porchlight where you will turn it on and leave it on for hours, and it doesn’t matter if it took 15-30 seconds to warm up and emit its full light output.
However in a situation where you want INSTANT ON like say a bathroom at night, or most indoor room applications they are a poor replacement for incandescence.
There is NO WAY I will replace ever bulb in my house with CFLs. I have tried them, and use them where they work for me, but they are not equivalent to an incandescent.
Make them illegal, and I’ll just become a criminal and get them on the black market.
I'm stocking up - am thinking of running an underground market - will include todays lamps also, as they are going to be mandated to not carry more than a 60 watt bulb.
So we can do business.
I'll be the little ole lady sitting behind drawn shades, knitting by the light of my contraband lights
