    • Reflections on GE's New Compact Flourescent Lightbulb [view article]
      Hi, I put some CFL's in my ceiling lamps and reading lamp about a year ago and they seem to be working fine. Not sure of the brand (not at home right now), but I picked them up at Lowes Home Center. They take a while (about 3-4 seconds) to come on compared to incandescents. They also do not work on dimmer switches or in lamps with 3-way switches. They do not impart a good light for reading and will be replaced in my reading lamp with a lower power incandescent. As for the ceiling lights, they work fine and will stay until they burnout, then I will decide if the cost justifies more CFLs or back to incandescent. Jun 26 01:06 PM
