the bulbs are not the energy hogs it`s the people.
if you keep the same usage as before switching to more energy efficient product than you save on power.
but alot of folks increased usage nowadays.
ex. leaving lights on in every room.

Kimba, you must not have teenagers. They leave the lights on constantly!

On a previous note, I just heard that there will be a snippet on the Smart Car tomorrow (Tuesday) on NBC Nightly News.
