I have to bring things very close, my office is always dark, and if I go with anything in a CFL more than 10.0.. er, I mean, 100.0 watts, it won't fit in my lamps. Thinking of hanging a couple 8 foot double florescent fixtures in there. Have you had your eyes checked lately? BTW, LEDs are far superior to CFLs in many ways. Sure, he has, it's just that FOX told him that CFL's and LED's are bad! |

They were *very* illuminating and created no shadows. The 8 ft tubes are kind of a PITA to handle however. Well, I sure hope y'all figure it out soon and tell me what to put in my Casablanca fans, which are the programmable jobs, here when I bought the place, and seem to like eating bulbs. The 'Al Gore' bulbs don't work. John H. CFL's. Those ARE the Al Gore bulbs. Bull****. Fluorescent lighting has been around for many, many years. |

Harry, of course will say something nasty, but what does he know.....sitting alone in his basement all day with only Gumby to suck on his dick..... Ahhh yes. We can see how plant tubes have improved your outlook and disposition. |
