When this stupid law became known a few years ago, I kept track of my usage
for a year and found that my 2000 sq ft home consumed about 30 bulbs (60 w)
over those 12 months. Your mileage may vary I assume. I bought 24 bulbs
on any trip to Lowe's until I got about a 12 year supply squirreled
I remember from many years ago hearing about 130 volt bulbs
so I went searching on Google. Found the below information
and several places to purchase them.
130 Volt bulbs average 5600 life hours when used on a 120
Volt line. 200 watt bulbs average 5000 life hours. All other
bulbs average 750

I doubt I use 30 bulbs a year, being the only person in the house, but I
fiqure at least a dozen. Over 300+ bulbs should last me 20-30 years
anyway.

This type of bulb is used on tower sidelights. It'll be available for
many years, even after household use is prohibited. But, I am
squirreling away incandescents myself. I just don't like the fluorescent
versions.
How does this bulb compared in size to a regular bulb and cost?

I don't have ANY incandescent lamps in use except for a couple small diameter
candlelabra styled lamps. Incandescent light is a very INaccurate poor color
rendering light.
You can get CFL lamps with colors at 2600 (Reveal) 2700, 3000 3500, 41000,
5000, 5500,6000 and 6500 kelvin. The GE
I bought a CASE of Duro Test 116 watt marker lamps marked as 100 watters for a
song. These bulbs are rated at 8000 hours. Clear. If you saw the bulb you'd
understand why they last that long, but normally go for a lot of money for ONE
lamp. I used to use them where it was a very unsafe ordeal
Powell,
I would want something no more than 75 watts as the heat that the bulb
produces above that is too high for the dual sockets in the ceiling.
The limit is 75 watts. I have used 60 watt (2) in the past and they
work, but the two 75 watters are a bit brighter.
73,

They also used to make a button shaped item you could put into the
socket to cut the volage down getting to the bulb. I don't know if those
as available nowdays or not.

I have changed one lightbulb in the past three years. If you don't need it
on, don't turn it on. If you turn it on and off a lot, you are killing it
one flick at a time so leave it on for the day.

A lot of my bulbs get little use, so they last for years. A few get
replaced more than once a year, but not many.

I saw that someone in the ultralightdx yahoo group posted instructions for
aligning the SRF-59 family of radios. Also IIRC he said that virtually ALL of
the ones he's ever seen needed some alignment, ranging from minor optimizing to
major overhaul (some apparently started out as turkeys).
