[GreenKeys] Off Topic: Curly-Q light bulbs

Well, now - there is an interesting note (re: put out light for 20 years).

I was checking the different packages - and some of
the "life spans" were ridiculous in BOTH directions:

o Some would last until the sun went nova.

o Some wouldn't last a year - if used under extreme environmental
   stress conditions - like being used to light-up a living room for 3 
hours/night...

> One nasty issue with both LED’s and CFL’s: They depend on phosphors. The
> stuff they use wears out at different rates. They may put out light for 20 years.
