I am totally against a mandate on bulbs but I like the CFLs.
I have had one burning on the front porch 24/7 for five years.
Our master bath has two fixtures that hold eight bulbs each. Regular bulbs heated the room fifteen degrees over ambient. The CFL’s produce as much light and no heat.
I sure as hell don’t have one in any reading lamps though.
Why do you have a porch light on all day? Conspicuous consumption?
