I use them where they're appropriate. Which is about 25% of the
lights in my house.


Maybe I should have said "I'll never use *all* the ****ers". But
yeah, I have a couple in a fitting in a hallway behind a frosted
glass shade, where they look OK, in the outside light, and in a
nightlight which is on a timer from 6pm to 11pm.

But there's an even simpler way of saving energy - it's called a
"switch". This amazing invention allows the householder to turn off
lights that they are not using. How about that for innovation?! )


And can the wife and kids use the switch properly?
