For the first time in forever I found some dimmable CFL's for a fixture I have in the living room. This bad boy uses 5 40W small socket round bulbs and boy do they generate heat.

Well just replaced them with 5 3w dimmable CFL's. The light is better (Whiter) and absolutely no heat from them. Also, all 5 combined draw less power than a single bulb of the old type.

Can't wait to report on March's use, notoriously high due to a swing in temperature around here ..
