Anonymous Unregistered	Ok, considering energy efficient light bulbs on average can save about $30 over each bulbs lifetime, use about 75 percent less energy, can last up to 10X longer, yet cost more initially. Yet, considering the economy - why are there no coupons so folks can purchase energy efficient light bulbs which cost more at first, yet save money later? I've not seen any, have ya'll?

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	MustangGal...we use the efficiency light bulbs...90% of our bulbs are those except for a few bulbs that I use for fragrance oils. Thanks for the coupons. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	We have made the switch, too. The best part? Not having to change lightbulbs every month. Check out places like Home Depot - they often run specials. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

savvygrandmother Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 62 Loc: texas	I love the energy efficent light bulbs. I've used them for the past few years. I've found them at Home Depot and Loews.

Sandpiper Member Registered: 06/19/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Kissimmee, Florida	I'm considering using them throughout the home, however, I don't like the light they emit. It looks to be blueish. Don't care for it. Also I read that if they get broken there is a certain chemical inside that is harmful and needs to be cleaned up with a certain type of cloth. So, I am still out on going to the new energy efficient types even though I want to. _________________________ Sandpiper "Kaleidoscope Memories: Childhood Stories That Celebrate Family Life" - 2008 http://kaleidoscopememoriesbook.blogspot.com www.tidedancer.com

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	when cfl's break, the room they break in has dangerous levels of mercury poisoning for months. People are advised to wear rubber gloves while picking up broken bulbs, and dispose of them in a hazardous waste facility, not with your regular trash. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist
