Thanks for the reminder.
I started doing just that about a year ago... I refuse to buy the new bulbs. I hope this all goes the way of the metric system that was planned for us in the 70's,,, this is all just BS. I have a garage full of the old reliables... LOL..

From what I understand, the new bulbs have lead in them and cannot just be put into our normal trash pick up. Does anyone have any information on this. I have also found that they do not give out as much brightness as our current bulbs and I don't know about you, but as I get older, I need more brightness.
