Then check out this company:

http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/

I do not work for this company and have no financial incentive to
recommend them. In fact I didn't even know they existed until about an
hour ago. I'm just sick of these cheap light bulbs that you have to
replace every other week. While you're at it you might want to ask
your local hardware store as to why they don't carry them since they
also come in high wattage E26 medium base. Maybe because they REALLY
DO last for ten years. The same reason why they don't carry Chicago
Faucets. If you buy one you will almost never have to buy another one.
I don't work for Chicago Faucets either by the way.

Sorry, wrong link.

So, you learned about this company one hour ago, and you're vouching that
their bulbs last ten years? That doesn't add up as a reliable
recommendation to me.

Things aren't always what they seem, Molly....

Were you able to find and compare the lumen output of their "20,000
hour" bulbs against that of cheap shorter lived bulbs? I'd bet that
those long lasting ones put out considerably less luments per watt of
electricity they consume.

You need to consider the added electricity cost to run a higher wattage
long life incandescent versus using a smaller wattage shorter lived bulb
which could give you the same light output at considerably less
electricity cost, even considering the expense of buying replacement bulbs.

Of course, if the bulbs are located where it's a real PIA to replace
them, or if you're willing to pay for the pleasure of not having to
change bulbs which as you say "you have to replace every other week",
then maybe the bulbs you mentioned are right for you.

But, I think that CF bulbs (and LED bulbs next) are here to stay and
incandescents are already being legislated out of existance in some
countries.

Just my .02,

My sentiments exactly. Not to mention that the bulb referenced (in her
corrected post) carries a $134.61 price tag, per copy.

I was refering to their LED light bulbs only. I am sorry for not being
more specific. LED light bulbs last for ten years and use less
electricity than even fuorescents.

Ok, how about this:

What I REALLY need is a good hemorrhoid cure. Can you help me?


Surgery. No, seriously. A few days of recovery and you'll wonder why
you waited so long.

Where did you get this bit of information?

From what I've read, good white LEDs passed ordinary incandescent lamps
in efficiency a while ago and they're now in the same ballpark as
halogen incandescents, but still far from catching up to fluorescents.

Thanks. I had some done in the doctor's office many years ago, and it was
not bad at all. I think it's time for a visit to the doctor. Just like an
aching tooth. You can suffer a long time, or you can go and get it taken
care of. Never could understand why people would suffer so much from teeth
and not go and suffer for a couple of days.
