For 15 years ago I bought A Philips "el-saver" light bulb,
you know...those new "fluorescent" tungsten-lamp-replacement-bulbs
that uses neon tubes rather than those tungsten lamps.

This one still works, and I've used it everywhere. Cost me
a pretty penny back then. They used to cost about 30 dollars
just for the "bulb" but for 15 years (and still going strong)
this is a bargain.

They sell as low as 99 cents in the USA now. At that price, who cares?
