The Truth about Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Paul Wheaton does a good job of explaining it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gjvOOlHmsU#t=49 Associated site with agriculture and saving energy: http://www.permies.com Finally, according to (one of my favorite TV shows) Mythbusters, for long term use (beacause of the "stress" of turning a light on and off over the years) LED lights are the best: http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/videos/lights-on-or-off-minimyth.htm I learned a lot from taking a little bit of my time to watch these videos.
