rudedog - OT <But the fact that the light eventually gets converted to heat doesn't count here - it doesn't make the bulb hot.> Agree -- was thinking down the road and where the light ends up. The bulbs are hot because of their inefficiency and the temperature of their lighting element (filaments or gas). Not familiar with the other types of bulbs (halogen, sodium). I do use incandescent light bulbs as heat sources in some small water facilities and then the full conversion to heat is realized. Does make the office warmer and in combination with A/C to take the heat away can make lighting a big energy cost factor for offices. PT
