I’m on my second year on my bulbs....They last and last and last.....And my electric use did go down.

I like CFLs as well, for the same reasons you cite. But I am sure we both agree that people should be free to buy whatever bulbs they wish to use.

The other half of this is they are saying the bulbs are FREE! They are not FREE!

They last and last and last.

I've only used 4 cfl bulbs. Each has burned out within a month.

Is this unusual? I don't have any problem in the same fixtures with incandescent (real ;0) bulbs. They last and last....

Choice is good. The CFL bulbs have been around for a long time...but it was only with the extensive advertising that I finally changed my ways.

Most people, like myself, just keep going with what they're comfortable with because change feels like "experimenting".

Remember that first teflon pan...after years of scrubbing steel.

Americans are always looking for the better mouse trap...
