I switched to flourescent because I got sick of my light bulbs blowing out every five months or so (wiring problems maybe?). This one's been doing me fine...haven't noticed any buzzing or flickering, and I was glad to see that they make them in softer yellow colors now. I never would've gotten one if they still only came in plain white.

I hear the hum from florescent bulbs. It seems that I hear everything, at least around me. I definitely hear things that other people don't (usually if I call attention to it or take them close to the source they can hear it).


I hear the cooling system under the meat counter at the local grocery store every time I come anywhere close. I called it to the attention of the butcher one day and he thought I was nuts. Said he heard absolutely nothing. Went shopping again last night and it's getting worse.

I can overall only here the hum from the Ballast lights but in the CFLs since the requirement is less to start the light I don't notice the normal hum the the floresents

however there is a alternative LED.
