Next up - candle power as in real candles. :)

To get the same output you will have to increase the number of bulbs or
leave them on all of the time in both cases using more electricity. We
tried to use the florescent bulbs but abandon them. You would come into
the kitchen for a glass of milk and cookies. By the time you had drunk
the milk and finished the cookies the florescent bulbs would be at their
peak brightness, just in time to turn them off and go back to bed.

Florescent bulbs are like the double flush toilets, that were legislated
several years ago. They take less water but you have to flush them
twice every time you use them to get them clean.

Not if you buy a good one. And CFB's have come a long way. AND they last
forever!
