I bumped him off last night - posting nonsense from India and 14 posts immediately upon registering.

I take it the LED's don't mind modified then?

Well yes and no. It depends on what kind of ballast it uses.

Whoever directlight does not have a clue what he is talking about.

CFL bulbs consumes lots of electricity and at the same time LED consumes very less electricity, thats the only reason why your inverter was shed out of power when using CFL light bulbs.

Thank you for the response, but;
I think you may have missed part of the issue
The bulb is dead, like doesn't work, not lacking power.

I believe Sunking may have nailed the issue.

The problem is your inverter being Modified Sine Wave.

Makes sense now...
So is my 'bigboy'....
Oh and that's a 2500 watt unit.
Mis-stated earlier...

I'll be shopping for a new inverter soon...

Still new here and looked like the other thread was closed, but I have a question for you all.

I have run CFL's off my inverter and they don't last.
I mean, dead after a few uses.

I've changed over to LED and having no problems.

Is this unique to me or do you folks have the same problem?

I have come off the 'bigboy' (Cobra 1500watt) inverter and now run only the Black & Decker 400watt.
I only run a light in the kitchen, then recharge the laptop and cell phones from it.
Ya, it's my backup power supply.
