nothing broken except for a little pride.

and those new spiral energy saving lightbulbs last as long as normal ones. Literally I moved into this house 3 years ago and put them in. They claim to last 9 years.

I hear the new bulbs' life get shortened the more you turn them on and off -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 10:19 2
- same for any type of bulb -- nm - zork Oct 23, 10:24 1
  - I didn't know this. I got this from a snippet I heard on the news about fluorescent bulbs, specifically. -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 10:26
the cheap ones (ie Walmart 3 for $10) do seem to burn out faster. - Elf Andie Oct 23, 10:17 7
- they were the equivelent to 150 wat bulbs and were something like $7 each -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 10:18 3
  - it's hard enough to find 100W equivalents but 150's are impossible - zork Oct 23, 10:25 2
    - Lowes has them -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 10:30 1
      - Lowe's just started opening stores here less than two years ago and just opened one near me this summer -- nm - zork Oct 23, 10:37
- i've only ever changed one and have moved twice with a couple ones. -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 23, 10:17 2
  - I dunno, while they do last longer, 9x? no way -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 10:19 1
    - i believe it -- nm - zork Oct 23, 10:22
Loosi, I thought you were in mexico -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 10:16
