With this in mind its best not to switch lights that are used for only short times to CFLs. Being used for short times actually lessens the life span of CFLs. My family discovered this the hard way when a new CFL burned out in less than 1 month because it was in a light that was only turned on for under 5 minutes at a time.Tristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626624292292224828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755626462989479771.post-17560812481133318232008-01-21T08:11:00.000-05:002008-01-21T08:11:00.000-05:00Costco has economy packs of the bulbs too - and in...Costco has economy packs of the bulbs too - and in ours, at least, also posts utility company rebate numbers.

I bought mine from <A HREF="http://www.springlightcfl.com" REL="nofollow">springlightcfl.com</A> and changed out my whole house, except where I need bulbs that can be dimmable. Hopefully those will start to pop up soon.Steve Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335440491460714054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755626462989479771.post-71517611211663912552008-01-11T15:12:00.000-05:002008-01-11T15:12:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip on multipacks.

I'm a BJs Warehouse member, so I'll have to head over there this weekend and see if I can find similar deals.Leah Ingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221552406610413975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755626462989479771.post-42513682961075572312008-01-10T14:17:00.000-05:002008-01-10T14:17:00.000-05:00I found compact fluorescent bulbs at Sam's Club, a...I found compact fluorescent bulbs at Sam's Club, and was able to change most of the bulbs in my house for around $18. My local club has an 8 pack of 13 watt (60 watt equivalent) for $12.73. They have a 10 pack available online for $24.33 + shipping.<BR/><BR/>If you have a Sam's Club membership (or know someone who does) call and ask if they still have them.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896941341075639503noreply@blogger.com
