This is an awesome price for CFL bulbs.

Right time to replace if you have not done yet, those old incandescent bulbs, and save $$$$$ on your elec bill.

The rating is 23W consumption and output is equivalent to 100W bulb.

Total of 6 cost you only $ 3.49 . In store only.

hope this helps in saving environment !!!!! and also saving money

I love how prices have been dropping on these!

What state do you see this.
Is the price subsidized by a local utility.
Thanks

It costs about 50 cents each in my area(Alhambra, CA) if subsidized by Southern Cal Edison.
Event 0.3W and 1W LED night light with sensor.

CA and subsidized by I am guessing either PGE or SMUD.

I did not check who the instant rebater was. I checked the price, liked it and bought it.

I got the 60watt equivalent (10pack) for the same price a couple days ago. This was also in CA after the $10 subsidy from PG&E.

Thanks for the additional info although disappointing to me. I heard that CA was being aggressive on this and that NJ had some form of program going on now. In NY Consolidated Edison included one coupon with the bill recently - for one dollar off one CFL bulb

Check out Ranch 99 Market (Nor Cal). They have the PG&E subsidized bulbs 4 for $1 right now.

Ranch 99 also has some dimmable CFL bulbs cheap.

However, from what I could quickly find through a google search, these dimmable bulbs are more like 3-way bulbs in giving off 2-3 different light settings. So I don't know if they will work well for you.

I checked a few of the stores that are supposed to be offering discounts, but the prices were still relatively high. (For instance, a local dollar store regularly sells the CFLs for a price less than the discounted prices I've found). Well, at least they're trying.

Be sure to get the right color temperature. Pretty hard to live with if it's not right.

you cannot use these bulbs on dimmers

not bad. i've purchased the 4 pack for 1.99$ at several stores within the past 3 months.

fyi, most cfl bulbs contain a bit of mercury, so do not dispose them in your garbage can. you need to take them to a proper disposal center. also, if you ever break them, it's recommended that you get out of the house for about 30 minutes and clean up the mess using rubber gloves.

It contains mercury vapor, so by the time it explodes, all the mercury is out in in the air. However, I have never seen a CFL to explode indoor, under normal circumstances.

I found 6500K CFL's at Target in SoCal when I was visiting my folks, I have not seen them in my local Boston, MA Target though. So I know they exist. I bought one when i saw it, i think for like $3, worth every penny as a back light for my home theater TV.

They also had the new dimmable ones at the SoCal Target...

I got that coupon too. You have to buy a GE CFL bulb and not something you get from a $99 store.
