They was kind of our reasoning as well. I think there are good cases to be made for incandescent in certain situations, but don’t see it as necessarily ‘better’ in any clear black and white way. Even with a couple situations where I could substitute a 300 watt halogen bulb, there would be enough times I don’t want that heat that it still wouldn’t make sense. If there existed a way to store enough power for 3 or 4 months, to have maybe 5kwh a day, then we could go total solar. For the time being, a generator simply can’t compete with the (comparatively) lower cost of the local utility, and it’s fossil fuel either way. Even solar would have a 20 year payback, but that trade off would be worth it, again- if we could have power year around.
