could be my 80+ year old wiring, though most of it is actually less

bulb in the winter. Reduces heating costs.

My house is not all that old - built in 1981. I get no long life from
the CFL bulbs either. I think they are intended to be installed upright
only in table lamps but we are being told to put them all over the
house.I don't like the light they give off either. As I get older, I
find I need more light, not less and they seem to give off less light
than a comparable incandscent lamp.
The other thing that I object to is that they do not appear to be
intended to fit inside most existing light fixtures. That is no saving
if they expect me to replace all of my fixtures. In addition, the stores
do not appear to have many new fixtures that are intended to house the
CFL bulbs.
I have hopes for the LED lamps but they don't appear to be quite ready
yet either.
