Duncan,

I haven't read your article yet, but wanna throw a comment around...

Have replaced 5 lamps in a chandelier, previously 75W normal globes, currently running 5 14W fluorescent bulbs, and all I can say is this...

If I walk into my house at night I put my damn sunglasses on... They are so bright that the color of the walls change every time you switch the lights on, they are extremely bright!! All of that for less energy usage than a single normal bulb...

I agree with you, every person should think about conservation and a small investment in new technology will save you a pretty penny in the long run...

Maybe you should give a broad outline of pricing for the new CFL's... ?
