Lol. That was the first thing I said when CFL's came out, and how "energy saving" they were supposed to be. When you have 9 incandescent bulbs on in a living room, that's a lot of heat output, and without it, you need to turn the furnace up a degree, as you said, negating the energy savings.Originally posted by rage2
My room is noticably colder with the lights on, so I think I have to crank the heat up a little, which would probably negate the effects of the energy savings in the winter.
My basement temperature is perfect when the 12 pot lights are on. There's no way I'm changing those from incandescent, and will be pissed off when they're eventually banned.
