I agree - I tried a 3-way and it doesn't work very well in my lamps if at all. Too much government interference is not good.

Has anyone besides me tried to turn on the porch light at twenty below zero with a CFL bulb? What ever it was causing my dog to raise a ruckus at "zero dark hundred" was long gone before the bulb warmed up enough to shed any useful light. Stop the insanity, please!

how much more energy does it take to produce one of these new light bulbs? They are full of plastic, and mercury as well.

I'm with you on this one too Torrey. We don't need the interference in our lives from the government.

I wonder if consumers realize the hazardous downfall of these new bulbs which are supposed to save us from ourselves.
