Ben – we havent replaced the 2 burnt bulbs in our chandelier either, too funny. As for dimmables, they are just now starting to show up for cheaper, so just keep checking your store for them!

Same here I’ve changed every on/off bulb in the house with a CFL. Didn’t even wait for them to burn out to do it.

I have yet to change the dimmable lights though (13 bulbs in all). Since I last searched for a suitable replacement I couldn’t find one. Though I did go for 6 35watt spot lights instead of the 50watt bulbs that I had. I don’t really notice the difference in brightness. And I dropped my usage there by 30%. Does it count that I have not replaced the 2 burnt out bulbs in the chandelier? That there is nearly another 30% drop in usage.

I see your 1 CFL and raise you 23 more! : )

I changed nearly every bulb in the house to CFLs last month and I’m guilt-tripping every one I know to do the same.

I’m proud to say I’m one of those people who uses the same reusable water bottle every day! However, I haven’t yet made the switch to the energy-saving light bulb.

Thanks for your green insights!
