About 25-30 years ago when I lived in the Chicago area, Commonwealth Edison offered CFLs (new at the time) ing a big discount. I bought one which lasted about 6 weeks before it failed. Consequently, I never fell for the hype when the bulb manufacturers decided selling $35 CFLs made more sense than $0.35 incandescents and, joined with treehuggers, lobbied legislatures worldwide to outlaw incandescents. I do have some LEDs with which I'm happy as well as a a lifetime supply of 130V incandescents but agree that there will likely be even better bulbs when my inventory is depleted.
