I remember having a thread on these maybe a year or so ago and I thought
someone had posted a link to a product that was brighter than the GE
"150W equivalent" one, but now I can't find it (either the post or the
CFLs) does anyone know of any? I found one that maxed out at 40W online
that's slightly brighter than the 32W GE ones I'm using now (2450 vs.
2150 lumens) but that's less efficient, it's a no-name bulb (which I've
grown to fear in CFL-land,) and also it's not brighter enough to be
worth $12 plus shipping.

Is that really all there is out there?

Life was so much simpler when you could just walk into the store and buy
pretty much any brand 200W (or even 250 or 300W - yes *those* are still
available) 3-way bulb and just know it would work, and that it would be
as bright as you wanted it to be... *sigh* (of course, you'd be drawing
200W just to light that one floor lamp, but still.)

thanks
