I don't believe this is not going to work as planned. Those new bulbs give off half the light they claim, and in an odd color. They contain mercury, and they don't last nearly as long as claimed. Most cannot be used with a dimmer or photo switch or microprocessor controlled timer. In short, they suck...
Remember when Jimmy Carter tried to convert the country to the metric system...I predict it will be like that. A flop.

If Nancy Pelosi heard that, she’d say, “You’re just lucky we don’t legislate candles in all houses!”.

They contain mercury

Legally if you break one you have to call in specialist in removing harmful materials in white protective suits and masks to clean it up because they contain murcury. Can you imagine? This world has gone nuts!
