You can do better. Costco is now selling four-packs of 60W LED bulbs for
$12.99 with a $10.00 instant rebate--cost of $1.00 per bulb.

How much is a Costco membership? I would have to have my neighbor take me
and use their card (which I like to avoid) since I am not a member. That
unfortunately has to figure into the total price as well. And as Perce
pointed out, it could be a rebate sponsored by a local utility that I am not
eligible for.


$55 per annum.

$110 per annum with 2% rebate, so if you spend $5000/year (one 70" flatscreen)
you'll get your $110 back.

$2 a bulb is the lowest price I've seen for straight up purchases without
rebates. That's still a lot more "light for the buck" than the 40" models.
I suspect thost prices will drop considerably as more people adopt them.

The $1-2/bulb cost is for A-19's, not F40T8's.
