| I read on Yahoo news that California is wanting to slowly fade out regular lightbulbs and go to the incadent(sp) which is far better for the earth,,global warming etc..also is cheaper ,,cost wise to pull on your electric bill!
My goal is to replace ours when they go out in our home...anyone else use these? |

| I keep saying I am going to do this but never have. I always seem to get stuck with saying they are too pricey even though I know they pay off in the long run

| I am like Vicki, the intention is always there but I just never have gotten around to it.
Maybe I should try from here on as each current bulb 'blows'!

| are those the "swirlly"-shaped light bulbs? Cuz if so, then yes, we replaced all of ours last year...Hubby got them at dept. store(that sells seconds,fire-sale items,etc.) for 50 cents a piece. I think he stocked up!!  |

| I usually only pay $.49 for a pack of 4 reg bulbs. SO these will have to replaced slowly
