yeah i replaced all my regular bulbs with CFs and power bill went

What didn't she like? I discovered that they are starting to sell CFs with a
good interior color temp (2700k) and replaced about 12 60w lamps in the master
bath with 75w equivalents. Aside from the slight startup delay, it made a big
difference. More light, way less electric used. Sylvania sells a micro sized CF
now that actually fits completely inside the fixture.

i couldnt find any dimmable CFs that fit the bathroom fixture, need
mini ones, but wife insisted dimmable couldnt find any of those


Look at Lowes or HD. They do sell CF dimmables now, but they aren't cheap..


around here they dont sell the SMALL CF dimables that fit the bath
light covers
