How exciting!<\/p>\n
Just a brief followup on the bulb life experiment I started in 2000 (Here<\/a> and here<\/a> . My kitchen has 7 PAR30 bulbs in the ceiling. Back when I was using incandescent bulbs, average life was less than a year, so on average I was changing every bulb more often than every year, or about 8 or so total bulb changes per year.<\/p>\n Since finally converting entirely to fluorescent and LED bulbs, I haven’t had to replace a single bulb in 4 1\/2 years. They really do last longer than incandescent bulbs, and I’ve thereby avoided about 36 changes over this time.<\/p>\n I kind of wish my fluorescent bulbs would burn out so I could replace them with LED bulbs. I prefer the instant on, but most of my fluorescents take a while to warm up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How exciting!
