Cool bulbs! Definitely a good money saving tip I’ll have to add to our daily tips site. =)

Green is good however you do it. Using recycled cartridges is another big way to be green...provided that you choose a reputable vendor.

Yeah, for all around bulbs at home, these energy saving flourescents are the way to go. Even I have to agree with the green people once in a while…especially when it hurts the pocketbook these days!

54W is damn low, I’ll be blind in no time with that light.

The LED’s don’t quite have the Lumen/watt output as fluorescents do. They are close but not as good, yet. What I like about these is the 40K switches in its 13K hour lifetime. I would like to see a life vs. time on graph, what most people don’t know is the extremely long life by fluorescents is directly influenced by the time they are allowed to be on. There is a marked increase at about 15min on for regular fluorescents.

Because LEDs are not cheap when you want high lumen output, also the heat dissipation is an issue.

Give me the good old incandescent lightbulb. Cheap and effective. Stupid legislation is trying to outlaw the old lightbulbs and force us to pay out the ass for compact flourescents.

why would they waste money on old technology? LED is where bulbs are at now.
