Oh, ok... I think my bulbs were rated at 25,000 hours.

Either way, much better than the crap incandescent bulbs out there now. Last ones I had in our kitchen lasted about 6 weeks!

LEDs are going through teething problems at the moment- some of the street lights around here have been changed over to LEDs, and we've had some early failures. We'll see how they hold up- same with the cheapo LEDs you get at home centers.

Meanwhile, I'll hang onto my old-school fluorescents- they don't buzz or flicker like the cheapo ones do, and I don't have to replace the entire fixture when they quit.

Everyone around here seems to be taking advantage of the fact that $1.65 still seems good and is charging more than they could.

' nice to get away from ($1.999) Pittsburgh, PA prices before I needed a fill-up in my van.

Just (simply) driving c. 30 miles south down I-79 and turning the corner westbound to I-70, the prices dropped a quarter...and (another 50 miles) they dropped another 30 cents.

I saw the same thing after the workshop:
Maryland: $1.99
Pennsylvania: $2.02
Ohio: $1.39

yup...a week ago was the so-called "official" presidents day...
I'm not sure which presidents are the ones to which the day refers, though.
...I would hope: none of these... :(
