Here in the States we are being urged to replace our regular light bulbs with "compact fluorecent bulbs." Big energy saver and they last a lot longer.
About 5 years. And they generate 70% less heat.
Is this same thing being done in Panama? Just wondering.

don{t know about Panama, but they are used rather extensively here in Costa Rica ' we presently illuminate 2000 sq ft sala area with two(2) 50 watt CFL's for cheap

Why doesn't everyone use CFL bulbs? Are there any drawbacks?
aesthetics ?
The only draw back as we see it now is how to dispose of them.
They do contain a small amount of murcury. Don't want that to get in the land fills.
don't know ? haven't had any burn out yet - gues we'll have to call hazemat ?
