We got a bunch of "free" ones from Duke. They take forever to warm up and brighten, and out of two dozen we're down to a handful. I'm selectively replacing some bulbs with LEDs soon. prices are starting to come down some.

I bought some LEDs at Ikea. They were about $4. I really like the light they produce. They've made a lot of strides. My bulbs have a nice soft yellow glow instead of that horrible bluish color.

 

You can buy discounted LEDs from Duke Energy's online store. They're as low as $3/bulb last I checked.

You have to read the package with CFLs. There are the regular bulbs, which take a bit to warm up, and there are the "instant-on" bulbs which immediately light up.

 

I bought a supply of them before I retired from Lowe's in late 2011 (employee discount), and I still have a couple dozen. Maybe by the time I have to replace them the LED bulbs will be just as cheap.

      I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
