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

Whatever you do, don't use those damn compact flourescent bulbs in
anything with a circuit board, timer, or dimmer switch. I found that
out the hard way when the Casablanca guy came out to fix my fan.

You can use them just fine with a dimmer if you use dimmable CFBs.

Yup... got two myself... work fine.

I changed over to those things in my shop. Oh, they say you save
energy, but when you look at the price of them compared to regular
light bulbs there's much more expensive to buy. But then again,
changing out cheap light bulbs every time you turn around is no fun
either.

Speaking of. It seems that when I was a kid in the 60's changing out
incandescants was actually fairly rare. Now they dont last for spit.
