\"Incandescent\"<\/a>On 11 June 2011, I wrote<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Banned on the Left Coast in the People's Republic of Californication!  It figures. It's sad to see what has become of my native state.  But I am fortunate to flourish in Arizona where bright sun and hard rock and self-reliant liberty-lovers have a suppressive effect on the miasma of leftists.  So with a firm resolve to stick it to the nanny-staters I headed out this afternoon in my Jeep Liberty<\/em> to Costco where not a single incandescent was to be had.  So I went to Lowe's and cleaned 'em out.  I bought four 24-packs.  Three packs were Sylvania 60W 130V A19's @ $10.03 per pack  and one pack was Sylvania 100W 130V A19's @12.02 per pack.  Total: $42.11 for 96 bulbs. That comes to less than 44 cents per bulb.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 130 volt rating means that I will get plenty of life out of these bulbs at the expense of a negligible reduction in illumination.  A voltage check at a wall socket revealed that I'm running just a tad below 120 V.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now I am reminded of what were supposed to have been Goethe's last words: Licht, Licht, mehr Licht<\/em>!  Light, light, more light!<\/span><\/p>\n

………………..<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I went to Home Despot<\/span> Depot  to bag the last of their stock.  I bought 24 4-packs of Phillips 60W A19 1000 hour soft white bulbs @ $1.47 per 4-pack.  So I paid $35.28 for 96 bulbs.  That comes to less than 37 cents per bulb.  Nice warm cheap light.

I reckon I'll burn out before they all do.<\/span><\/p>\n

So that's  my politically incorrect act for the day.  Or at least one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
