Hey Warner. I wondered if someone would mention LEDs. I haven’t even ever SEEN LEDs except for tiny reading lamps. Do they REALLY give off enough light, enough for an entire room? $40 is extremely expensive, especially when you consider than an average house has about 40+ lights in a home. I’ll look into them sometime. But do they REALLY need to be $40 per light?!?! Someone out there is making a killing on those things…

ever try LED bulbs …?
take a look at the pharox: switches on immediately, is dimmable, gives warm, white light and is not as fragile as the cfl’s and incandescents?
at $40 expensive? maybe, but with 90% electricity savings and an expected 50,000 hour life span (25+ years) not as expensive as NOT switching an electricity guzzling incandescent and no mercury like in the cfl’s.
just a thought …

Also, they take forever to come on. We have one in a light over our kitchen table which is the first light I turn on in the morning as I sluff around in my slippers with my eyes barely open. By the time I finish brewing the coffee (needing a flashlight to see the settings), the CFL light is FINALLY at full strength.
