Summary: If your light bulbs "burn" out quickly, it might not be the light bulb. Check the light bulb socket. Confused over compact fluorescent light bulb, halogen lights, energy saving light bulbs? Some light bulbs will save you money, but can change the colors in your home.

Tim,
Have you evaluated LED lights yet? I know they are the craze in Christmas
lights - and look really nice; the area my office is in is using a lot of
them this year. I bought two LEDs for nightlights - they use 0.3 watts!
And put out nice color light. When are LEDs ready for prime time? What
are their benefits / detriments compared to incandescent and CFLs? I still
can't find CFLs with decent color - they just look too fake compared to my
halogen flood bulbs.

Steven,
I used LED outdoor Christmas lights for the first time this year and
absolutely LOVE them. I went to an Editors Conference at the GE facility in
Cleveland this past summer. LEDs are right on the horizon, so watch this
closely. Read my past columns on Color Temperature so you can get your head
around the color rendition index. You might be amazed at how high the CRI
is for certain CFLs.

Can a lightbulb burn out while it is on, without turning it off?
