No we have not, but I am going to check them out and it might be a good thing to have in the garage. We did recently convert some to the next generation beyond the curlycues and they look pretty good in the kitchen, where there are 4 flourescents and 6 regular lights. We also have a lamp, which we use at night instead of hitting the switch and lighting them all up. We are converting the bathrooms over to energy savers. It all helps. We had a big wood pile and the insurance company dropped us until we moved/ used it all up. It is hard to win in a rigged game, but I cannot see giving in to the gougers. It is too bad the deregulation was such a mess. SDG&E has been the only game in town for way too long.
