I have been studying the CFLs now for 15 years. For several years they have had warm and cool light, and daylight type illumination. I changed to all CFLs 15 years ago and my electric bill immediately dropped from $28 per month to $17 per month. CFLs use about 1/4th the electricity of incandescents. When I look at LED lights they never seem to say what the electric saving is, unlike the CFLs which clearly state, for example that a 60 watt bulb luminosity burns about 13 watts. I figure I have saved at least $2,000 in the past 15 years on bills alone, not to mention what I have also saved on light bulbs.
However, if people want to throw their money away on incandescents, I think they should have that right. It must be nice to have enough money to throw it away, at lease they will give me a small increase in Social Security this year for a change.
I tried the cfl’s. The only light I use all the time is one for reading, and I found, though the light bill went down a couple of dollars with the cfl, it bothered my eyes more and more. It was such a relief to go back to an incandescent — my eyes seemed 10 years younger!
