I agree about CFLs being garbage in terms of build quality. I spent the better part of decade trying various brands and finally switched back to incandescents because the CFLs rarely lasted longer and typically died sooner. I won¹t make that mistake again with LEDs. I¹m happy with the light quality and lifespan of the few halogens I have, so I¹ll be using more of those as my stash of regular incandescents dwindles.
I never had QRM from CFLs, though. Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 08:05:15 -0800 (PST) From: "Powell E.

Same for CFLs. Same for LED. ?Same for most halogens now, though GE is building a factory for halogen. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
