hahahaha honestly I did ....but then again I can be a techy-nerd about some things. And having a hubby who worked for an electric utility in customer service helps!
Avoid CFLS .... they contain mercury and shouldn't be thrown in regular trash. We use LEDS everywhere but be aware, not all LED bulbs are dim-able. AND many old dimmer switches don't work with LEDs and your lights will flicker.
