Thanks. Fluorescents are cheaper, but I have decided on the Costco
leds.


They may be cheaper to buy, but the LEDs will be a LOT cheaper in the
long run when you consider their energy consumption AND their life
expectancy.


I am hoping that will be true. I have switched out 5 PAR40 incandescent
bulbs in our kitchen to Feit LED about a year ago. One of the bulbs has
already failed, fortunately Feit sent me a replacement.

Also we have 9 ceiling fans in our home, all but 1 have 4 candelabra
incandescent lamps, 32 of those suckers. Unfortunately they are more
for looks than longevity. Anyway I have replaced 8 lamps with LED
candelabra bulbs in the 2 fans that we typically have on most of the
day. I hope they last! :!)


Unfortunately, the tubes and bulbs are apples and oranges, somewhat.
I think there's more room in the tubes fixtures for the electronics and
heat dissipation.
