Good morning, here we are upon yet another weekend. I don't think we're going to be in the 100's for a few days, they say rain and temps in the high 70's. We're suppose to go target shooting tomorrow, that could change with rain in the forecast.
LED lights don't give off that much heat. I'd be willing to put one anywhere there's an incandescent. And you're right, I picked up a couple of CFL's thinking that they were LED's. They're as bright and give off a nice white color, just that they take a few seconds to start up. I don't like that either and I think they'll go back to the store. After putting in those LED's, all the others look yellow and dingy, even the halogen ones. They do make LED bulbs with those halogen bases, so I guess they'll be replaced as well. This is like eating potato chips, it's hard to stop once you've had one....

I'm also seeing notes that the bulbs are "not to be used in enclosed lumieres" -- does that mean the ceiling fixtures with the round glass underneath?
I found a 300W incandescent in the store today, but decided to pass on it.
SWMBO has a distaste for CFL -- she doesn't like the quality of the light and they don't come on fast enough.
At the Great British Train Show all weekend -- passing myself off as a craftsman.
