Hugz_n_Kissez: Yes...the well kept secret....Bush only wanted you to think it was about oil...Just how do you think the Whitehouse is kept so well lit????
But everyone says that there isn't the brightest bulb in the white house?
Hugz_n_Kissez: Sorry I have to decline...I'm too riled up and may reconsider later...however not at this time...I may just accidently hit someone!!!!!!!
agman: Secretly, I will keep my 60 watt light bulb for more light.
This is not true my friend. It's not the size, it's the out put! You shall be issued 2 (that's right I said TWO) florescent 16w light bulbs equivalent to one 120w light bulb.

Florescent movement has you!
I will have heat withdrawal symptoms if I don't get my 60 watts. 120 watts florescent doesn,t heat me up the same.
I was reading the label on the carton of my bulb-replacing fluorescent light (ice cream cone style) and it said that 23 watts of power are used to create the same amount of light as a 100 watt incandescent bulb.
Indyfella: The light bulb police will show up at your house, with lights and sirens blazing! (they'll have traditional bulbs on their squad cars though! )
Yes I heard it's a new division of homeland security...
As if they don't run enough things in people's lives!!!!!!!

Sounds like the best of both worlds to me!
I've got a bunch of them in place. In reality, you almost need a stronger "ice cream bulb" than what the box states...as they don't emit as much light. If you're wanting 60 traditional watts, you'd probably need a 75 "ice cream" bulb. (just trying to help)
Don't break them...they've got mercury...EPA may get involved.

Why is there no flourescent refrigerator bulbs. That is where you want a low energy light bulb. But of course if it breaks one will have mercury on the food.

Stick a photo in there! That's where they belong, in a cold!
