Some us can't afford LED lights, and there are those of us who would raise red flags just by buying HPS or HID lights. (think rural southern US). CFLs work just fine, and nobody takes a second glance when you buy a pack of CFLs at the local grocery or hardware store.....as long as you are only buying 1 or 2 packs at a time. Buying fixtures for CFLs at Lowes or Home Depot isn't going to raise any red flags either.

You can *DO* what you want, but personally, as a business owner, and a respected member of the community, I have to be very careful.

FWIW, I live in the middle of the Mississippi Bible Belt. Its a whole different world here.
