There is actually something to what he said. CFL's, even the newer, quieter
ones, put out RFI. Incandescents do not.
That being said, there will come a time when the change must be made for the
sake of the ecology (and, if not the ecology, then your power bill!).
As soon as the new LED TV's come down in price (doggone are those things
NICE!), I will be replacing our PDP sets with them, and save about 60% on
the cost of watching TV...

I have a lamp on my desk which contains a power LED, some 3 W, 235V.
It gives less light than an incancescent bulb.... More research and
development is needed. But it doesn't seem to emit RFI.

incandescent bulbs. I do not like the new designs which are noisy and
contain who knows what materials inside. I've heard there is MERCURY
inside them. That's totally obscene. We need to keep the Mercury in

think incandescent bulbs are really inefficient as we are heating the

Who cares what's inside them; you're not going to eat them. More
mercury is scattered over the countryside producing the extra Watts

I have been using fluorescent lamps exclusively for 20 years; there's no

Though you can still buy incandescent lamps here, almost no one uses them.
This is because energy is so blankety-blank expensive here. Trust me, when
Americans are paying 60 cents per kilowatt hour in the US, they'll quit
clinging to energy-hungry devices. Our light bill averages something like
$500-600 a month during the summer, and that's with only using an air
conditioner at night so we can sleep (and that only in the bedroom). I'd
hate to think what the power bill would be if we replaced all our CFL's with
incandescents using 5x the power..

We have tiered service; it can get up to $00.40/KWH. My bill is
usually around $100. It was higher in Texas, due to the need to
refrigerate one's self from April to October.

got a loud buzzing at 60 or 120 Hertz and thought I had a bad filter
cap. I turned off the ceiling light (2 CFL's from China) and it got
better, not great but better. Then I found we had one for a front porch
lite and turned it off and could hear the noise diminish from my radio.
I found a few neighbors with them and asked them if they could turn them
off for 5 minutes and I had just about 5 minutes of good radio.
It does not matter whether it is a $$0.99 unit from Wal-mart or a $5.00
American named unit from Home Depot, they are the same guts.
Until this gutless country tells China they had better control the
noise, and quit putting name brands on junk bulbs it will only get worse.
I have a bicycle headlight that can be shined on the ceiling and provide
plenty of light most of the night.
Not all things are what you hear on television.

Three things: Computers, Refrigerators and A/C.
Mind you, our power bill is being broken up into three pieces, as we
actually have three different 'drops', one for each apartment (we live in
two apartments that have been conjoined) and one for the basement, which
also feeds my shop. This month's electric bill is over $700 (they raised the
electric rates last month). We have a 'graduated scale' billing system. If
we used less than 100KWH in a month (totally impossible), our power would be
about 4 cents per KWH. The second 100 KWH is billed at 10 cents/KWH, the
third at 15 cents, the fourth at 22 cents, the fifth at 35 cents, and over
that at 62 cents per KWH. This is the sort of thing that happens when you
live in a country with limited resources that has to buy things like
electricity (either directly or by virtue of buying raw materials to make
their own.)

I have 2 Computers, one over/under Refrigerator, 2 window A/C units, and
a stand alone freezer that is turned on lowest just to keep the
compressor kicking over a few times a day. My bill is only about $60-$80.
We have a graduated scale that starts at about 12 cents per KWH, then
goes up at 500 KWH, which is considered the 'baseline' below which
people can't even afford to turn on lights or cook.
At 1,000 KWH it goes up again to about 23 cents. We usually manage to
keep it at about 700 KWH since the window air units are so much more
efficient than a central unit.
