[Spridgets] 2010 GMC Hassles and Issues

[bjshov8 at tx.rr.com]

LED bulbs are coming on the market too, those are probably pretty fast to respond.

The screw-in FL bulbs that I've had seemed to come on pretty quickly, they were just dim and had bad color.  Our kitchen has a big fluorescent fixture in the ceiling.  I got tired of it flickering and so forth to I bought an electronic ballast at HomeDepot.  Now it comes on almost instantly and never flickers.

I'm not up on the law regarding bulbs but there may be exemptions for certain uses.
