How is the study suppose to observe a incandescent bulb for 10,000 hours?? The avg. life of an incandescent is about 1000 hours. All it's saying is the cfl bulbs loses on avg. 22% of its brightness during its lifetime, which isn't stated on its packaging. In comparison, an incandescent bulb loses LESS brightness during its' LIFETIME.

No one has stated that incandescent bulbs are better, just that the packaging is misleading.

FYI, if you can, HID trump all.
Thus me stating that the investigation proves that CFL are that much better than incandescents. Seeing as they last about 10x longer and that even if an incandescent COULD last as long, they would be THAT MUCH MORE better. Think sometimes, its helpful.
