.45c a bulb, 1.85 a four pack for HD CFLs, you need to do some
learnin.


For cheap crap that looks like hell, will *not* last 9 years (and the
company won't anyway), and is a fire trap, perhaps. *You need to
*think*.


Incandescents used to be 30¢ a bulb until the recent legislative attacks.

And you ain't gonna get no pretty light out of the bargain-basement CFLs,
that's for sure.

Here again your logic is absent, you are clueless. HD CFLs and most
others now replicate incandesants on color rendition. There is a 2-3
yr old review comparison at Popular Mechanics magazine that rated HD
soft white BETTER than incandesants at color rendition in some
situations. Cfls coatings have come along way over the last few years,
technology moves on if you havnt heard. That pop machanics review is
hard to find, but its there, read it. CR also did a review comparison
test, it will all suprise you. At HD you have a 30 day no questions
asked return policy, buy and try em. Keep a reciept and its a 9 yr
warranty so you can perpetualy always have cfls.
