It's Not Easy Being Green!



We had an electrical problem at our house with one of our light switches.  I had the electricians to come out and replace the weird condition.  Come to find out all those fluorescent lights that I put in our house (being green) and all the flood lights outside (fluorescent) have to be taken out.

On the package the fluorescent flood lights say that they replace R30 lamps (incandescent).  On the LAMPS (light bulbs) they say that they are not to be used in wet locations (outside) or in enclosed fixtures (down lights, etc.)  R30 lamps are designed for these locations?  

So we have about 30 lamps if anybody needs them!  By the way keeping them where I had them can cause electrical shock or fire.  Otherwise they are ok.
