I perform maintenance at a school district which recently had a construction bond upgrade. We have mountains of burned out compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL) which are suppose to last for 7-10 years, but rarely last more than a few months, and at $8 bucks a pop, it's expensive.

Although I have a lifetime supply of 100 watt incandescent bulbs, I nevertheless have been watching for alternative technologies, for unusual reasons.

After Hurricane Ike knocked out power in some parts of Houston for weeks, I wanted a better alternate lighting system than camping lanterns. I designed and installed a permanent lighting system that is totally independent of existing house wiring. My ceiling fixtures have two bulbs, but each bulb is on a different circuit and of a different type. I installed two golf cart batteries, voltage inverter and light switches in a central hall closet. I was using CFL lights but am changing over to LED lights to conserve more power and obtain nicer light. After reading very favorable reviews, I bought a Phillips 424382 1424382 11-watt A19 LED Household Dimmable Light Bulb1-watt A19 LED Household Dimmable Light Bulb 2700K at Home Depot ($15) to try and am very satisfied. Unlike the Cree bulbs, it won’t burn your retinas if you stare at the bare bulb. I can light four rooms simultaneously for weeks with such efficient bulbs.

Will we still be able to purchase them online?
