Hippy Bulbs for 25c each!

[Doofrat]

Vons is selling those compact fluorescent “Hippy bulbs” for 99c for a four pack. They are the 23Watt replacements for 100Watt bulbs. The missus and I picked up a few packs and changed out some bulbs last night. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the air outside seems fresher today.

Um yeah, let me know how those work out. We’ve had to kiss a few frogs to get to the good fluorescent bulbs (we have them all over the house, started replacing them years ago). Something tells me 25 cent bulbs aren’t going to cut it long term. But let me know if I’m wrong!

They’re subsidized by SDG&E somehow, so you’re getting them way below cost. I used these years ago when they first came out and they burned out faster than a string of cheap Christmas lights (except they cost about as much as a Christmas tree back then), so I gave up on them, but I figure that for 25c each, you can’t go wrong.
I read on the Energy Star site that you should leave them on for at least 15 minutes each time you use them to extend their life.
What are the good brands that you’ve found?

Could be wrong about this. But aren't those suppose to emit things that cause skin cancer? (Obviously, I have no data to back this up).

BTW: you can find the same deal at 99 Ranch (the chinese supermarket in Clairemont) all the time.
