I did the math once when I was tempted by a cheap lamp. ISTM that over the lifetime of the GE 75 watt lamp, it used $11.00 of electricity at my residential rates. The lamp cost about $0.39 on sale. I stopped worrying about the price of the lamps after that. I DO worry about their efficiency. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.....wb8foz@mthvax.cs.miami.edu & no one will talk to a host that's close............(305) 255-RTFM Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335 is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335
