[Jukebox-list] CFL and UV lighting

[Mark Nelson]

I switch all lights in my boxes to compact fluorescent for two  
reasons they produce lower heat and wont continue to shrink the  
plastics, two they produce higher lumens per watt so the jukebox is  
brighter especially useful because the jukes are in my home not a  
dark bar... I have had no problems so far, I use a 9w CFL to replace  
a 25W incandescent bulbs the CFL outputs 550 Lumens vs. about 300  
Lumens for the incandescent bulb.... There is also the advantage of  
less wattage used by the box, probably more useful for boxes that  
haven't been rewired, less likely to over heat wiring and blow fuses...
