How interesting they back out on some fixtures, Elizabeth. I've had them in my kitchen ceiling fixture for about 3 years, but just recently in other lower fixtures. Haven't had a chance to back out yet, and I'm too lazy to climb up to check out the kitchen fixture. I'll keep an eye on the lower ones. Sounds like it might be with older fixtures in your case?



ThreeCalicos -- I got the normal incandescent replacements (not the "daylight" ones) and once they warm up, they are a bright white light like the other bulbs were. I don't notice a difference and they are brighter in some areas then the incandescents were.



I thought I heard that Pres Bush was signing a law to ban the manufacture of incandescents at some point. If you have a light you want incandescent, you may want to pick up a pack to be safe down the road.



I am OK with the delay and dimmness in most areas (getting used to it slowly), but think I might keep my closet lights, front inside entry light (right when you walk in at night), and hall light on normal incandescents. They are places I want to turn on and be bright when I go into. Not turn on and wait to go into a closet or walk down a hall...
