I just want to know if it is energy efficient?

[Curious]

ok mr..how and where did you dispose of the burnt out bulb?

[Kitty]

If you were using the new lightbulbs (light bulbs) that last for years you wouldn't even have to have a post about changing lightbulbs (light bulbs)!!!

[who moi]

apparently....

1 just wants to know if it is energy efficient (sandyC)

1 demanding: how and where do one dispose of the burnt out bulb? (curious)

1 claiming If one were using the new lightbulbs (light bulbs) that last for years one wouldn't even have to have a post about changing lightbulbs (light bulbs)!!! But apprently is unsure of the spelling (herekitty1960)

Maybe you could add at least 1 to give the benefits of living in the dark? It's almost impossible for me to reach my arm up high enough to change a bulb.

ummm, In about Jan. my DH put that 'new lightbulb' in that is to 'last forever' & it died a couple days ago. Ya know, they are only florecent lights. But they are more energy efficiant.

Oh, I forgot, is the light bulb (lightbulb) a 3-way or not. What is the wattage?

at least 1 to give the benefits of living in the dark? It's almost impossible for switch to reach her arm up high enough to change a bulb.
