hmm, my story is little different, my x-wife was asking me always to replace all saving fluorescent lights by normal bulb yellow lights of 50watts or 75 watts, she was happy with the sunny feeling at night.
for me I was not happy as this will cause me to pay more money for the electrical bill.
so one day I decided to make it as a surprise to my wife and to change all yellow ugly lights by saving ones.
I went to the market and I was shocked to hear the prices of these saving lights as if I will buy 16 ligh then I will pay 4 years value of electrical bills, I said GOD BLESS yellow lights.

and I went home with pack of 6 cheap yellow lights of 50 watts .
this story happened before 18 years back, when the saving lights were rare.

now adays, these lights are found in candy shop... :)
