I bought an LED bulb today for my frequently used reading lamp. It's
rated at equivalent to 40 watts and to last 46 years. That's about
ten times what I am likely to last. The brightness is good and it
comes on instantly. It can also be used with a dimmer.


Did you have a question?
My house is loaded with CFLs. From desk lamps to living room lamps, to
ceiling fixtures, to outside lamps.
I started years ago when they first became available. The first ones
were huge and I only used them as utility lamps in closets, basement
stairwells, the attic, and the garage.



He has an LED lamp, not CFL, and is thereby protected from mercury
poisoning.



Ooops. My brain has been affected by mercury poisoning.
