New Cold Cathode Dimmable and LED Bulbs
For
all of the people who have searched for an energy-saving replacement bulb to use in
dimmable chandelier fixtures, WattBusters finally has the ticket. We just acquired the TCP cold cathode line of light bulbs. The bulbs are excellent for dimming and rapid
on/off cycling applications and they use either 3 or 5 Watts. Light output is roughly equivalent to 15 - 30 Watt incandescent bulbs.
The FlameTip series is a sharp looking bulb that comes in medium or candelabra base and has clear, frosted or white coatings. The bulbs dim very smoothly and are a great energy-saver for any multi-light chandelier. The rated life is 25,000 hours so you pretty much install them and forget them.

Out of Gas - Naturally
Sometimes life has a roller-coaster feel to it. We're rolling along, happy and healthy. Your job is fairly interesting and it pays enough to keep you afloat and give you some of the perks you've always wanted. And then the roller-coaster begins the journey downward. Unseen situations can
combine, both in and out of your control. This can be a combination of layoffs,
downsizing, job loss, credit card debt, enormous winter utility bills, dying automobiles, etc.
The bottom line is that you are aversely affected and it can make you feel emotionally trashed.
