bah, i like my 400 watt halogen torchiere. that thing is 4 years old, on all the time, and still going strong

you don't live in california eh?

i just remember generally californians use way less power then the rest of the country. dunno how the rest of the country eats that much more electricity. its not used for heat that i know of.

bad insulation most likely.

I love those things, but never have good luck with them; either the bulbs burn out or the switches self destruct. I like the fluorescent bulbs, and use those in a couple of rooms where the light fixtures permit.
