There Are Beautiful, Energy Efficient, Light Bulbs!

It's a new year and the old incandescent light bulbs we all grew up with are no longer being made. Like many people I dreaded having to live with florescent light, knowing that it was more energy efficient, but still made everyone look like a witch.  I was afraid of the future when the last of my incandescent light bulbs burned out and the world turned ugly.

This morning The Today Show had a helpful segment on the types of bulbs now available and that show inspired me to go to Home Depot and see for myself.  Sergio, a helpful clerk, answered many of my questions but was hindered by the odd fact that Home Depot had very few of the exotic bulbs on display.  I had to rely on Sergio's promises the bulb's light wasn't too harsh.  I wanted my home to be lit like a Nordstrom's not a Wal-Mart.

So trusting Sergio I purchased one of each bulb-type I need in my home.  Some of the bulbs are $40 but the claim is they will save heat and energy and even more appealing to me, will last twenty years.

I brought the samples home and I'm very happy with the quality of the light.  I'm going to invest a small fortune in new light bulbs.  I may be one of the few people who intend to live where I am for twenty years, and so I can test the longevity claim for you.
