Congress put's light bulb ban on hold

[Mr.5150cbrn]

not to mention the actual wave length of the light in frequency .
incandescent bulbs lend them selves to reproducing better color response , as a warm lighting source , granted waste full on the energy end , but easy on the eyes .

cfl's or fluorescent tubes , are irritating to work under for extended amounts of time , and actually cause minor amounts of depression . and also the flickering from being out of phase to the 60cycles that human beings perceive light

i also find that while the new leds are bright and real easy on the electric meter the light output gives me a headache after a short amount of time , also the color spectrum is similar to what colors are perceived , similar to painting a automobile in a paint booth under flourecent lighting , you wont "see" the real vibrance of the color until its exposed to natural sunlight .
and in my opinion incandescent bulbs reproduce natural light the best

I bought two cases of regular light bulbs about 10 years ago. They were 130 vac instead of 120 vac, there's a lot of fluctuation here at times. I think I'm down to the last 4-pack now, time to get more. Wasted heat? Maybe, but at least I can see!
We use those curly bulbs at work, have to, no choice. They are the absolute pits. People tend to reach up and unscrew them most days, more common than you'd think. They do have a guarantee, but just how much is that guarantee worth if you have to take advantage of it very often? And then there's the 'clean up' if one should happen to break. Being a commercial business, you have to go by OSHA regs about that, and you DON'T wanna know what those are. As in evacuating the building until the area around that breakage is cleaned, then aired (mercury). Yeah, right, you bet!
I just happen to run across one of those LED bulbs that would replace those curly ones, works very nicely, no flicker, about the same amount of light produced. The 'catch' with those is the cost, $20 for one bulb? Counted the number of bulbs in the 'front' portion of the work place. How about 58 of them at $20 a shot. ... Yep, sure is economical! (I took my bulb home!) Three of those LED bulbs means a case of regular light bulbs. Guess which I'm gonna buy??
