Default We switched over almost a year ago.

The lights are fine, and my electric bill is down. Like Dan, I haven't figured out the "pay back" for the more expensive bulbs, but if they last the way they advertise, it's a better deal all around.

I even went with the "dimable" ones for our pocket lights and in the kitchen. And the ice cream doesn't melt under the higher heat incandescent bulbs. Took a little getting use to, but they produce a very pleasant light with almost no heat output.

I'm sold... and like I said, the electric bill is down.


Sorry, couldn't resist the "Go Green" font color!
