LOL! yeah, I know that. But to me they are "new"... maybe that wasn't the best choice of a word :) Also, I have a desk lamp which was advertized as producing a full spectrum day light imitation. Paid for it over $200 - maybe closer to 300 - a few years ago. If I can buy a bulb which will give similar results for under $20, that's a good deal.

<<I hope everyone realizes that they are nothing "new." Just the same old Florescents invented by Tesla, only with the far end brought back to the near.>>

They are hard to read by and dim with age. In my experience they don't last as long either.
