How about 60W and 40W units? Those are the ones I use here (I still
have a few boxes of Sylvania "Made in USA" units; wish I would have
bought a few more dozen).

I bought 200 (100 clear and 100 frosted) 100W bulbs last summer (and
have 300, or so, clear 60W bulbs), so I'm alright there. I need to
lay in some 40s, though. The dining room lamp is a tad bright with
the nine 60W bulbs.

Frankly I prefer the CFLs and my lower electric bill and look forward
to cost effective LEDs I DONT understand all the complaints.......

I think the remaining stock will not be replaced. I think I should buy
some. I like using 100 watt bulbs to dry out circuit boards and stuff. Oh
yes, I need some for my inrush current limiters for servicing electronics.
I don't suppose I can get 200 watts.

I don't use any incandescent bulbs for lighting. The LEDs I see have
approached what cfls cost twenty years ago.

I also enjoy the lower cost of CFLs in, for instance, the living room
and in my bedroom, as these lights tend to stay on for hours at a time.

In the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and hallway, however, I
absolutely prefer incandescent, because they come on to full brighness
within a fraction of a second.

When I worked out in The Marshall Islands, I noticed the closets in the
buildings called bachelor quarters on the base had boxes in the bottom
of the clothes closets that had vent holes in them and on the inside
there were a dozen sockets for incandescent light bulbs. At the time the
sockets were empty but the building was now air conditioned. I figured
out that the boxes were for heating the closet to drive moisture out of
clothing and keep it dry in the days before the buildings had air
conditioning. I doubt CFL lights would have done the
job. ^_^

TDD

First they came for the 100 watt bulbs.
I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a 100 watt bulb.

I leave some cfls on continuously. I also leave some DIY LEDs on
continuously. The LEDs run off old comcast telephone battery system.

With your record here, I'm not surprised.

Very few of our lights are on for hours at a time. Those are
fluorescents with CFLs temporarily in the basement. I hate CFLs but
T8s aren't so bad in these areas. Everywhere else gets incandescent
lamps for the reasons stated here a few hundred times.

You can thank the communists in Washington DC for this. I have over
1000 incandescent bulbs stocked up, in 60W 75W and 100W sizes. Mostly
100W, since I use then the most. I bought them last december. I'd
like to break 1000 CFL bulbs to release the mercury and mail them to the
Whitehouse. That would be a good way to wipe out the communists that
run the place and out Communist America.

You know that constant buzzing sound you hear...and thought was tinnitus?

It's not. It's actually your electric meter spinning so fast the
bearings are now shot.

I have replaced all by light bulbs with CFL, except for appliance bulbs
(refrigerator / freezer, microwave, oven).

Thanks for the reminder, Tex. I just ordered $202 worth of bulbs from
bulbs.com, mostly 75W, and some 95W and 100W. A total of 188 bulbs,
ranging from 0.74 to 2.49 each. No sales tax and free shipping.

Of course you're being silly/stupid.
