ContrabandLightbulbs
July 20, 2009
I went to my local dealer and picked up 24 contraband 85 and 100 watt floods today. The man had what I needed in the back; a few precious boxes of incandescent bulbs manufactured more than a year ago, before Philips and the rest stopped making them in a paroxysm of political (and ecological) correctness.
The CFL and halogen &;long life&; floods I&;ve purchased at Costco have offered neither savings or long life, usually dying in my down cans within four months. They do deliver the cold dim light that smacks of diminished expectations, of Jimmy Carter and &;freezing in the dark.&; Ask not for whom the fluorescents hum, they hum for thee.
So I&;m hoarding. I got your incandescent floods right here.
