They
have caught on in a big way in my house too. Where I used to have 5 x 60
watt bulbs burning all night to light up the house outside (lost that argument
many years ago) I now have 5 x 13 watt (60 watt equivalent) bulbs doing the
job. Menards (a midwest home improvement chain) sells a nice one that has
a warm yellow light that turns on almost instantly (about 1/2-1 sec for the
ballast to fire up). A 4 pack will set you back $8-9.
Can't
say enough nice things about them. -john

From: John Coviello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 5:09 AM To: Vortex Subject: Compact Flourecent Lighting Big In Italy I just returned from Italy and can report that compact
fluorescent lighting has caught on in a big way there. It is so ubiquitous
that I didn't even notice it at first. A lot of restaurants and hotels are
using compact fluorescent lighting throughout. The compact fluorescent
lights were available in all stores.
Gasoline was selling for between $1.25 and $1.50 a
litter. Which works out to $5.50 to $7.00 a gallon after the conversions
from liters to gallons and from Euros to Dollars are
made.
