Richie - I'm with you 100%. I'm trying to figure how many 75W incandescent bulbs I'll need to last me a lifetime so I can buy a lifetime supply. I have one of the supposedly "white" CFL bulbs in my reading lamp, and I can't see much of anything out of it, except for a strange blue/white light that is uncomfortable to the eye. This is a classic case of your nanny government at work - and you can bet that the light-bulb manufacturers' lobbyists had a lot to do with the law. Lots of money to be made by exchanging all of the incandescents in the USA at less than $1.00 apiece for these overpriced fluorescents.
