In case you’re in the market to buy new CF bulbs, Popular Mechanics has a good ol’ fashioned scientific showdown to see which CF bulb gets you closest to incandescent light without making Al Gore angry.

The University of North Carolina had to work with Novell in order to track down a server that has been missing for four years but is still connected to the network somewhere.
lol, that’s exactly like that bash quote
It’s kind of bizarre, comparing the CFLs in the US to here - the colours are completely different and Australian manufacturers like to overestimate how powerful the lightbulbs really are (20 watts in that test was roughly equivlaent to a 75 watt incandescent, whereas they’re rated at 100 watts equivalent here). I’d love to get a lux meter and test some of the local ones out, but I’m nerdy like that.
NERD. :D
