the power company is subsidizing them.

instead of paying ~$10/3 it is $2.88/6.


we were just talking the other day about
replacing them because a few bulbs were burned
out and needing replacement anyways, but
at the higher price it just wasn't worth it.
we don't use the track lights much (at 75
watts each and having eighteen of them
going...).

Good price. What size room needs 1350 watts of lighting? I can light
my 2000 sq foot house with much less.

these are track lights, rarely used,
originally meant to light paintings as the
house was built as a studio/gallery and
summer home. they get used maybe 50 hours
total a year. that's 12 out of the 18
lights. the other 6 are in this room.

normally we light with one LED light in
the kitchen (which uses about 11 watts)
i think that's 1200 lumens. when i read
i have another single light in here that
i use instead of the track lighting. i
usually only turn those on when i'm looking
for a book on the shelves or have dropped
something.

we have other lights for when Ma is
sewing or working in the kitchen and needs
more light (several 4ft shoplights which
reflect off the ceiling for indirect light).
