This is the first time I've ever bought some. I was at Ace Hardware with my dad earlier, remembered I needed new bulbs for the garage and sprung for them. Had $10 in Ace Rewards so ended up only paying $3 for them.
I put them in before it got dark and was relatively unimpressed. 100 watts and they werent any brighter than the old school bulbs they replaced. Night time rolled around and they're a ton better. They emit a really clean white light and do a great job of illuminating the garage.
Most the work I do on my cars is during the night so these are going to be a big help!
My hippie friend Sam thanked me for "going green" with these new bulbs. Seriously. I guess you can call me Captain Planet now.
Yes. Yes it is.

Just don't put LED bulbs out there. We put some in our garage opener and it would somehow interfere with the signal from the remotes to the opener. Damn garage wouldn't open.
Also, clean that poor Audi!

Living in central florida has imparted a different meaning to CFL to me. Every time someone tells me 'Hey I just brought some CFL bulbs', I'm left thinking, "Damn, what the hell is so good about bulbs made in central florida? It's a marketing thing, right? Like bottled water from the alps? Wait...ooooooooohhh. I'm a dumb-dumb."

* Checks google maps*
...Yep. I would save an hour each way on the round trip if I just manned up and biked the distance. Yeah. ...Yep.

Im trying to talk him into the crusher or a Lemons/Chump team. I even know a chump team that would take it from him!
He loves it too much to let it go. It was the first really nice car he ever bought and he adored it when it ran. My dad is in real estate and when the economy went to shit so did his car and he couldnt afford to fix it after that unfortunately.

they suck dick in the cold.
when it is under 32 degrees, they are extremely dark when you turn them on, and you have to wait at least 3 or 4 minutes before they are totally warmed up, I want to put halogen incandesant back in when these CFL's burn out.
