Interesting. Having more energy-efficient light bulbs doesn't help you
when you need heat.

Unless your source of heat is less expensive than electric heat.
If that's the case, it still pays to use efficient bulbs.

Yes, I was supposing the people know of the inefficiencies associated
with electric heat.

Don't confuse economy with efficiency, they are two different things.
Electric heat is very efficient,

The process is inefficient. Don't forget that electricity has to be
made.

but it's usually not economical based
of the current cost of electricity vs. gas or oil.
