The good old Light Bulb

How about an 1865 house? That's what we live in...the second oldest house in Ferdinand, incidentally.

I, too, will be interested in seeing how well LED lamps work in the home once they become more "mainstream."

Ron,

Older houses are cool. You know since port-a-potties hadn't been invented they had to build the outhouse first....

On the CFL's I have seen a few scorched bases from heat but no fires. I did notice that the ones that have covers over them to look like "regular" bulbs in open fixtures seem to go out more often and sizzle a bit when the do.

On the LED's don't they also have drive power supplies in them too? That is what usually burns out in CFL's so sounds like trading one burned electrolytic/transformer for another.

Thanks,

Mike
