And you are so blissfully happy paying 75% more for electricity for a
apliance that outputs near 95% of its energy consumed as heat.

Yep. Because in actual dollar terms, that 75% is a trivial amount of
money.

Run 11-100 w incandesants

Most of our incandescents are 40 and 60 watt. We do have a couple of
Tri-lites that go up to 150, but they're normally on at the 100W
setting.

and be happy knowing you AC this summer has to
remove that extra 1000w of heat

Well, that's part of the point. Generally speaking, when I need my
bulbs, the A/C is off. When I need my A/C, the bulbs are off.

Moreover, in the winter, when the need for the bulbs is greatest, the
heat from the bulbs reduces the need for the furnace, so my gas bill is
lower.

And we follow the ancient (and apparently forgotten) precept of turning
the lights off when we leave a room, so there are few bulbs left on
regularly. With incandescents, I can do that. Snap, it's on. Snap, it's
off. No waiting.

CR and Popular Mechanics Mag did
reviews and dont agree with your happiness on color rendition of life
expectancy.

I see threads in this groups with comaplints about color unless you buy
/just/ the right kind of bulb. And being in people's homes with CFLs, I
have to disagree with CR. Also, CR is hard left-wing and as religiously
"green" as they come, so their judgements are unlikely to be bias-free.

With HDs 9 yr warranty my HD soft whites will be free
forever , be happy, stay ignorant.

Except that you had to pay ten times the cost of incandescents to get
that 9-year warranty...

Every building ive covnverted to cfls the electric bill dropped
50-60%,

Cool! *They save money on my heat pump, water heater, and oven, too!
Hows that work?

IOW, you're a liar.

I guess you have money to burn because I know of no one who
would not love a 50% reduction. *The heat is generated, you put it in,
whether or not the bulb is off, but who only runs the AC when no
lights are on, kinda like torchure isnt it! *I bet you never did a
cost comparison of BTUs from Ng to electric because for most all the
US electric is easily now double the cost of gas, you never thought
why electric furnaces and boilers dont sell in your area did you. And
at 1.85 for a 4 pack of cfls, well you just again prove you dont know
any facts you speak of.

I repeat, you need to learn to *think*.- Hide quoted text -

Dam what kind of Dumb ****s you and teger are, totaly stupid
ingnoramuses.

There are none so blind as those that will not see, ransley.

FACT, 94-96 % of the power consumed by incandesants is
output as HEAT, not light you see or use.

No, dumbass, *ALL* of it is. Just as *ALL* of the output of CFLs is heat
(yes, less of it).

CFLs are 65-75% more efficent.

Whoopie!

FACT, 11, 100 w incandesants output the same heat as a 1000w
resistance heater.

Wow, another master of the obvious.

FACT, for most of the US Ng is now about half the
price of Ng per BTU.

What *are* you yammering about?

FACT, incandesants waste 75% more energy than
Flourescents.

So what? That electricity is absolutely *trivial* compared to the heat pump,
water heater, oven, and plasma TV.

So keep heating your house this summer with
incandesants, and keep running that AC more to remove that heat your
incandesants enter in your home, just Keep a wastin and paying a
higher electric bill. Im laughing hard at this stupidity you two keep
posting.

Idiot. Light bulbs are *rarely* turned on in cooling season[*]. That time of
year has more light, though I can understand that the blind can't see that.
[*] and when they are, I want light *now*, not in fifteen minutes because in
fifteen minutes they'll have been off for at least ten.
