How to hurt the electric companies

Alright so I don't know what you people all spend on lighting at your homes, but its getting bad everywhere so I assume it is bad here too. First, all the damn bulbs cost quite a bit, burn out like crazy, and shatter at the slightest touch...oh and get really damn hot. Then there is the bill...turn on all the lights at home for a bit, go outside, and watch that meter spin.

Well, at home and at my job we have been updating. LED lights have replaced every single bulb in my house and at work they have only set up a test room, but it is looking very good. No modification have to be made, just screw the bulb in. The bulbs that would replace your typical 60w bulb only use...3w! They also cost $12 - $16 a piece however, with a life span ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 hours they are worth every damn penny. Price and life depend on what color you choose...there are different white color ranges. They never heat up, very hard to break, they can all dim, light can be focused or flooded, and NO MERCURY!

There are some disadvantages...LED differ from regular lights in that their spectra is different, so some colors will look different. Also, if used outdoors the ultra-white LED systems give off more blue pollution which causes more light pollution. However, they do not pose a blue hazard for humans as some people may tell you...there are codes for that stuff.

Ok here are some links...not all of them sell LED, but its all the energy saving stuff that was around BEFORE the "green" movement and is the stuff that they no longer mention, because it actually saves money...

Normal and LED lighting...some metal halide

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
