<p>Yea, it's definitely a miniscule amount, just venting a little. I just purchased my fourth Grande a few days ago and I'm planning on getting my fifth (black/clear) in the next month, so I've already purchased 20 R20-100w. So I'm thinking 4 bulbs per lamp should last my life time, I hope.</p>

<p>I can't say I really like the thought that I may not be able to replace my Grande's bulb eventually. Completely phasing out most incandescent bulbs may not be the best solution, but I'm also not sure how else you could feasibly get everyone to switch.</p> Why is it important to clean…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2012-01-14:1566398:Comment:3674212012-01-14T21:36:12.101ZMattmoshttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/MattThomas

Conserve a little energy, but endanger the lives of my family, pets and myself after we accidently break one of your energy saving bulbs that you are MAKING ME USE!! Not only that, but I'm responsible for disposing of YOUR CFL properly. I have to find a waste facility that will recycle YOUR BULB and then I have to take it there myself. Are you kidding me?
