I went to our family Xmas party earlier today.When I left out I turned on the porch light.We have installed compact flouresant lights through out our house.They are 13 watt GE,same out put as a standard 60 watt bulb.These bulbs are supposed to last for a long time and not produce as much heat as a standard bulb.This week I have changed 6.They have only been in 1.5 years.Any way.The scary thing is,when they blow they melt and nearly burned my house down.The worst one was in my porch light.I am becoming scared of these new style energy saving bulbs.Here's the bulb that scared me.
