Where do you buy your CFLs?

I love the idea of switching my light bulbs to CFLs but they are so expensive so i want to make sure i am getting the best price....

Anyone have a store or online site that has great prices?

Which type do you buy? I notice that some give off a blue-ish color and some arent very bright at all.Chat Icon

Re: Where do you buy your CFLs?

I started doing the CFL swap, but now I'm switching over to LED where I can. The LEDs cost more, but last so much longer than even CFLs, and use a lot less electricity. Plus, they have no mercury to worry about.

They are still hard to find, and not in every size yet (at least not at HD).

I swapped out one of my can lights, and went from an 85 watt incandescent to a 10.5 watt LED, and I can't tell the difference in the light output. The CFL bulbs are about 20 watts for the same output.

Just something else to add to your confusion.... Chat Icon Chat Icon
