[QUOTE="bulbboy, post: 1291469, member: 11"] Banning light bulbs is not the answer. I have clear fixtures that only look good with clear bulbs in them. I love my dimmers - CFL's hate dimmers and LED's still aren't there yet. I have Compacts in 85% of my house. The others are halogen or LED. You can get really good LED's for $70 (floods) and up. BUT they are rated for 50,000 hours. I can get 10 compact fluorescents floods at 8,000 hours for that price. they have their advantages - hard to reach places, etc. You can get halogen versions of normal lightbulbs and floods that are more energy efficient and look better than normal incandescent bulbs. CFL's have their place LED's have their place Induction lighting has its place (probably better than LEDs) Halogens have their place and incandescents have their place [/QUOTE]
