Don't know if this post belongs here...but I go to Southern California Ace Hardware store and they have "4 packs" of CFL 23 watt (100w equivalent) for $1.99 (thanks to some subsidy from utility company)...which is less than $0.50 each!

Lumens 1450
Average Life 10,000 hours
Kelvin Scale 4000k
Uspar Enterprises (China import)
In both Cool White & Warm White
23 watt only

I guess with these "global warming" subsidies, it sort of changes the meaning of "poor man's light system"--8 lamps for $2...go figure!

I guess "Ace is the place". Cheers!
