In an effort to conserve energy, DW and I started replacing our incandescent lights with flourescent bulbs a couple years ago. I think enough time has passed since then to compare their respective efficiency levels. The results: It seems that flourescent lighting doesn't last a great deal longer before burning out. These bulbs which are touted as having a life span of a couple yers don't hold up nearly that long.
Are the supposed savings in energy and dollars an exaggeration at best or even an outright scam?
