They have to be on for 15 minutes or more for them to actually become economical. You’re burning more energy when you turn them on and off because in those cases, they never reach their full capacity. He believes we will eventually go with LED light bulbs.

I am always trying to talk people out of using those awful bulbs.

I was trying to find an article I read in the Ottawa citizen, by Kelly Egan, about the dangers associated with them. No luck so far. :-(
