Best thing would just be to replace the CFLs with incandescent bulbs ...


** Incandescent bulbs have a HUGE list of advantages over CFLs - among
them:

1. Full spectrum, warm colour light.

2. All examples use same, long proven technology and have near identical
characteristics.

3. Full dimmable with any dimmer.

4. Very fast on and no change in light output or colour during life.

5. Resistive load = ideal power factor and no RFI.

6. Life of lamp easily extended by use of dimmers out to many thousands
of hours.

7. Will operate normally in very cold and very hot environments.

8. Inherently water, steam and condensation proof.

9. No deterioration in storage, indefinite life in low use situations.

10. Fail in a safe, predictable manner with no smoke or fire hazard.

11. Multiple lamps up to rated load may be used on a circuit, CFLs
require circuits to be de-rated by 90%.

12. Can be used in any light fitting without loss of life span.

13. No Mercury hazard if broken or when disposed of.

14 No pollution hazard during manufacture or disposal.

15. No loss of life span when cycled on and off often as you like.

16. Much lower purchase cost that good quality CFLs.


Not one of the above is true for CFLs.

There are many ordinary lighting applications that typical CFLs cannot do
at all.

Banning regular incandescents from sale was green lunatic madness.
