Well, you can certainly trip people up intentionally. If you knew more about the bulb than the guy making just over minimum wage at the hardware store, then you could have explained to him what it is you really wanted and when he takes you to the light bulb isle, you can share your wealth of knowlege.

Hi doc. LOL! You must have read my post just as I was removing the bulb story, I felt it was getting off topic a bit. But, I forgot to mention that I did go on to explain to him what the bulb was when I realised he didn't know. He still had never heard of such a thing, but now he knows just in case someone else asks.

I have to chime in on this one.

I think there are 2 kinds of people on this earth. Those that don't care how things work, and those that want to know/learn. I certainly belong to the latter group.

I have watched my Infinity control on more than one occasion to observe how it works. For example, I occasionally drop into the service menu and check the static pressure. I've watched it do its static check at 1 PM every day. I've made notes on run times on low and high etc.

I hear ya!

But, you really should quit staring at the thing... ;-)

so tell us about the bulb... sounds like a hot bulb to me, or a bright one.

I guess that I should've put a smiley at the end of my statement. I constantly mess with the damn thing, too. Drive my wife nuts. I have a hard time with 'set it and forget it.' I have infinity zoning with infinity heat pump and air handler. There are loads of config items to monitor.

It's all good!

Well, they are bulbs for over my pool table. I belong to a billiard forum and a lot of people there swear by these so called "Daylight" bulbs. I did find some at Home Depot and tried them. They are very different than regular soft white bulbs.

The 6500K (Kelvin) is the measurement of the color temperature of a bulb. The higher the number, the cooler it is and more towards the blue spectrum. Soft white bulbs are usually 2700K (considered warmer and more toward the red spectrum. These daylights are 6500K! They look quite blue when you see them next to regular bulbs.

Anyway, I tried them out and decided that I prefer the warmer 2700K bulbs. The daylight bulbs create a very cold atmosphere. But some pool players really like them.

I did a comparison for the billiard forum, here is the link to my photos if you're interested:

Now, go and change them to CFLs and save even more energy dollars... ;-)

And now, back to our topic at hand....

[seadragon]

They are CFLs (exept for one).

Its even worse when you go on a service call because a customer wants to maintain a constant temp of 70 degrees and you try to describe temperature swing to them but they think your insane LOL!!!
