[CS-FSLUG] OT: Converting from Incandescent to Flourescent Lights

[EnzoAeneas]

Don,
I would love to see what you have completed so far. I am attempting to 
reduce costs at my church, but haven't had the tim eto do the adequate 
research to put together a a good presentation. Would you mind emailing 
me some of your work? I will be sure to give you credit for your hard work.
