How can compact bulbs be the new latest and greatest when you break one you need to call Haz Mat? If you reside in/around the "Greenest City in America" according to Yahoo.com and you have no recycling centers for the burnt out bulbs are you really green?
We are looking into the LED bulbs that are beginning to seep into Walmart. They are even more efficient then the CFL bulbs. Sure they are about 6 bucks a shot right now and are rare to find. The wattage is a bit low, but this is how I remember the CFL's coming in. CFL's when we started buying them about 2 years ago were about 12 bucks for a 4 pack, wattages were limited and low. Here is an example out 40 watt equivilant bulb in CFL is 13 wattage output. Our new LED has 1.3 watt output. CFL's are floresent lighting no matter how you swing it, the new LED is pure white! Hmmm, which is more enviromentally friendly, and really cost efficaint? As they become more common place, I see the LED prices coming down, wattage choices up, and the new eco-friendly fad. They will replace the CFL, as CFL's are replacing the incandecent filiment bulbs. Once again the bleeding heart tree huggers didn't do all the research, leached on to "the next best thing" and once again it was not the best, it was just next. Haste makes waste- hippy's!

I tried to post a comment already, but it keeps getting lost?
Anyway... I was saying that I've seen a 3 pack of the LED's at Sam's Club... I want to get a pack, and check them out. I like the idea of them much better than the CFL's... I do not like them all that much...
We are headed to Sam's Club on Friday. I will look for them there. Thanks for the heads up on it!
