Ditto that. I've replaced almost all 60 watt incandescents in my house
with 13 watt CFLs, including outdoor porch and deck lights. The only
ones not changed were candelabra bulbs and those in dimmer lamps.


There is now some availability of candelabra base models. I have seen
these at some online lightbulb sellers in up to 60 watts claimed
incandescent equivalence, and in Lowes at up to 40 watts claimed
incandescent equivalence.



A lot of candelabra bulbs are the clear, decorative type used in
chandeliers and hanging ceiling lamps. I'll have to pass on any CFLs
for those at present, just for aesthetic reasons, because the bulbs are
visible and part of the decorative feature of the lamps.

There are dimmable models - I just wish they were more widely available!
There is a dimmable version of the 23 watt Philips SLS.
