im gonna show my wife this post. wow. I never liked those things for the lack of light they put out. Before they re are all gone i bought leagally a case of regular bulbs we all grew up with. I did recently try led bulbs of two different shapes. One looks like a regular old bulb, the other like an old bulb that was flattened. I am totally amazed how much more light they put out then the ones pictured above. They also dont seem to get hot. Not cheap, but getting cheaper all the time, i hope to switch the whole house to those things. Meanwhile i hope spring gets here soon, up north ny state we have some seriously deep frost in the ground that probably wont thaw till july! good hunts all, CO
