The free lights arent bad either!

But, like other posts mentioned, the 65 watt CFL is about as bright as the
40 watt bulb it replaced.

They came up with a list of things they could do with a pricetag of about
$1200

I'll use their list and take care of many of the items myself but I may take
them up on insulating the attic....

A 15 watt cfl = 60 incandesant, Popular Mechanics did a recent test,
its online. I dont think they make a 65CFL and they sure would not
give them away free. A 65 CFL would be nearly as big as a standard
flood light.

They make some big CFLs nowadays. Check the online sellers. Bulbs.com
has mogul base CFLs up to 200 watts, and ones with medium ("regular size")
screw bases up to 80 watts. The 80 watt 2700K one is rated to produce
5,500 lumens, so this means 80 watts is its power consumption, not its
incandescent equivalence.
