well, they are designed to save energy although it seems yours were not since 6 of em are increasing ur bill by $100. it doesnt seem right.

they must be cuz CFL's save more than half energy than regular household bulbs and i doubt by leaving like 3 or less regular lights on as long as ur 6 CFL's are on, i really doubt it would cost around $100+ for the regular house lights. Check your wiring and everything cuz something forsure isnt right.

i had 6 cfl's on one shelf, 2 on another. the lights are on 18/6. the more power you use during certain times of day the more they charge you. i had them running at night but they still fell into the "Peak Hours". then it bumped the usage from the 200% over usage into the 300% overusage. it goes by hundreds. i can be at 299 and still get charged at 200. once it hits 300 it goes WAY up.


i have the bill. i have dates from all my posts here. the meter is read bi-monthly. i know what happens in 2 weeks brackets. IT'S A PERFECT MATCH. you all can try to convince yourselves to believe what ever you want. me, i have to go stomp some more cfl's. i'm gonna go to Walmart and knock a whole shelf over. then sue them. hahahahahahahaha

where the hell is g.knowm? he did a hell of a good grow using cfl's if i'm not mistaken he got like 8oz's off of 1 plant using cfl's. the strain was mango, that was the most impressive cfl grow i have seen! i think it was last year he posted pics of it.i don't use cfl's myself but i have seen a few good micro grows using them. i prefer 4ft t5's myself for clones,seedlings and veg. then its out to the greenhouse to flower!
