very interesting

I view incandescent bulbs as heat sources. I loathe the idea of incandescent bulbs being used in the house during summer months. But, like you, I cannot justify LED's in every fixture. Even CFL's get very warm to the touch. During the winter months I say let those babies burn!

My wife is bad about walking out of a room and leaving the light(s) on. When the outside temp is 105 F, it chaps my behind to see a 4-bulb fixture fitted with 60W incandescents being left on while she heads to another part of the house. But in her defense, we have a 3500 sf house that she keeps clean, she works part-time, and we have 2 elementary-age boys who keep her on her toes while I am working.

As far as recycling, we keep a basket in the laundry room. Once the basket gets full it is taken out to the larger, curbside bin. Fewer trips to the garage.

I have purchased 2 LED floods so far. One over the front door and one over the kitchen sink. They were ~$45 each. I wanted a long-lasting bulb out front as the fixture is 15' overhead and gets left on on occasion. For ambient light after sundown I installed the other over the kitchen sink. My mind is eased knowing the light is not coming from a bulb that is, what, a couple hundred degrees F?
