[AT] Talking about lights

[Bruce Falon]

Check out    www. 1000bulbs.com  They still have T12's in lots of sizes lots
of colors full spectrum to warm white.  I have purchased from them in the
past. They have most any type of light you may need.

People are pretty tired of winter here too Dan. I don't know for sure
where we stand on phasing out the incandescents but I am starting to
think maybe I should stock up on them while I can. My barn and sheds all
have them. I'm pretty sure flourescents would never start up here in
these winter temps.  I have a couple of the quartz/halogen lights in the
sheds , not sure where they fit in with the future of lighting.
Might have to get grandpa's coal oil lanterns out if all else fails.
