hadley said: (quoted from post at 15:23:11 12/20/13) Typical that the govt knows what is best to save the taxpayer $. $10 for two bulbs that will save you $3.13. Versus two bulbs that cost $.88 and cost you an extra $3.13 to run. When I do the math the $.88 bulbs would cost me $4.01 vs. the govts idea of saving hardly any electricity over the course of 2-3 years but costing me $6.87 for the bulbs in the long run?
Before all of this BS, I used to get four 100 watt bulbs for under a buck, and a 4-pack of double-life bulbs were about 40 cents more. They usually lasted about as long as listed on the packaging. I've never had a CFL last as long as advertised. The good news is Unky Sam's meddling will push electric rates upward to make those mercury-filled CFL's and over-priced LED's sound like a better deal.
Many here say you can still buy a 100 watt incandescent bulbs everywhere: a rough-service bulb. They don't put out the same amount (or color) of light as a normal 100 watt bulb, don't last any longer, and usually sell for $2+ each. What a deal!
