I can not find any CFLs lower than 60 watts.

Is that some design limitation ?

Thanks.

Hi,
But they are on smaller base. Won't fit into regular fixture.

Where do live, Nicaragua?

Not when you can still buy a 40 Watt CFL.

I'm ASSuming you mean a 60 watt equivalent - and even there, you are
way off. I had 40 watt equivalent (7 watt) CFLs before switching over
to LED

I couldn't figure it out either.

I have some CFLs in my driveway lamp post. They look like 20 watt
equivalent. They were not hard to find, right there in a supermarket.
They use the small screw in base, but came with adapters that would have
allowed me to put them in a standard size lamp.

Best thing I ever did, I was changing those damn driveway lamp bulbs
(all 3 of them), at least once a year. It must be 4 or 5 years now,
all 3 going strong.

My 7 watts were E27 base - sold as "ceiling fan" bulbs.

I have a 25 watt (equivalant) in my barn. Standard base. It's there so
the animals have a very small amount of light at night. Which also
helps me see the light switch when I enter. It's on 24/7 so I went with
the lowest wattage I could find. I believe they consume 7 watts. If I
recall, I got them at Menards. I bought several because Menards is a
long drive away, and they do tend to burn out about once a year.

I also have a horse who likes to turn the switch off for that light. I
had to rig up a recessed switch cover.

You might find them on Menards.com

Do they have to be CFL?
Low watt CFLs are more expensive than the big ones.
Low watt LEDs are cheaper than the big ones.

I use 3x 1.5W Lights of America LED's to light my house.
You can find them online or Walmart. Costco has been
carrying similar lights too.

A reason he may not be finding them is that people are
rapidly switching over to LEDs. When I was in Costco about
a month ago I noticed that their shelf space had made a
drastic flip. Previously most of it was CFL, with some
LED. Now it was the other way around, with most of it LED
and a smaller selection of CFLs. Under 60W I would think
the LED prices are now low enough so that they are moving
and some places may have stopped carrying the smaller CFL.

But it shouldn't be hard to find CFL under 60W if you
really want them.

Yes, for porch lights, post lights, etc. LEDs are nice for the lower
output levels.

Some low-wattage CFLs have a candelabra base. Search for candelabra or
intermediate base types to find them. Base adapters are standard products
if needed.
