Jody L says:

salome says:

yes

jade=) says:

as soon as they were available dad changed the whole house into them

Jane S says:

of course!
everywhere i can!

think about it, it saves energy which is good for the environment
and it saves electricity, which brings down your bill

it’s a win-win situation

Leeza says:

I use some energy saving bulbs, but not all of them, maybe 1/3 are energy saving. I don’t like the bright lighting from a lot of them. But I use them oustide in the back yard and they are good. They do last a fairly long time.

BluMyz83 says:

I got like 7 and I like them because the way they look. They also last longer

All my bulbs are the twisty bulbs. In a couple of years, the incandesent bulbs are going to be history, i figured i might as well change them now.

Jacob Black Lover says:

all of our bulbs are the energy saving kind.
We got them a while ago, like 3 years.
we got them because they waste less energy, do not radiate as much heat(the last thing we need living in FL), and give off better light, in my opinion

paradox says:

Yes …about 10 of varying output
The reason anyone gets them should be obvious to you …the environment … they don’t use as much power

Saaaaaam says:

I use them at my home.
I have a fair few, but I only use them in lights that I constantly have on, such as the lamp in my bedroom, guest room and living room.
I find they are alot duller than the other lights thought, but I’m glad I’m doing my bit to save the environment

loquitaamericana says:

CFLs, like all fluorescent lamps (e.g., long tubular lamps common in offices and kitchens), contain small amounts of mercuryand it is a concern for landfills and waste incinerators where the mercury from lamps may be released and contribute to air and water pollution.
So I think the question should be, Do you dispose of them properly?
And what about future pollution for our children and grandchildren?
But yes I do, every bulb in my house, It is cheaper.

Pat says:

I’ve replaced all the bulbs in my house with the exception of a few. I did testing using an amp meter and luminescence meter to determine if they really would save money. I had six 65W spotlights in the recessed fixtures in my kitchen. I installed six 20W CFLs (manufacturers equivalent to 75W incandescent) and got a 50% increase in luminescence, and indeed I was drawing a third of the amperage. I had to put one of the incandescent lights back in since there is a lag time for a floursecent light to illuminate. The same with my upstairs hallway with 5 recessed lighting fixtures, I installed four CFLs and left one incandescent

The initial cost is more but they do last a lot longer, on average.

Disposal isn’t the same as a standard incandescent bulb. As mention before there is a very small of mercury in the bulb, but there are places that will take them from proper recycling.
