“Groovy Motherfucker”

I’ve finally found a good dimmable low-energy lightbulb. This model’s less than $7, and has none of the buzzing or flickering that’s been a problem with previous bulbs we’ve tried. Gonna buy a few more, then our house will be completely incandescent-bulb free.

Turns out you can get energy-saving lightbulbs which work with dimmer switches. Who knew! They’re pricey, but I’m getting some to see how they do.

Walmart are making a huge push to get people buying the low-energy spiral bulbs. I’ve been using them since we moved house and I spent far too many hours wandering the aisles of Home Depot while Joy chose paint colours. The only place we still use incandescent bulbs is in the lamps attached to dimmers.
