ParticipantUm 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!

ParticipantThey’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.

CoronitaParticipantCould 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.
