good deal on CFL bulbs [View All]

[unhappycamper]

I was at Costco yesterday, and saw they are selling CFL bulbs with an instant manufacturer's rebate. The cost of an 8 pack 13W(eff. 60W) bulbs was right around $3.00, as was a 4 pack 23W (eff. 100W.) (Both of these have the same profile as that pictured in the wiki link.)

Its it a good deal? Two thoughts:

1. the link at climatecrisis.net points to http://www.energyfederation.org/consumer/default.php/cPath/25_44 , where you can buy a 4 pack of 15/60W bulbs for $11.99 plus shipping.
   
   
2. the 13/60W bulbs at Costco cost about $0.38/per bulb
   

I replaced three (canned) 100W floodlights in my kitchen yesterday & noticed the light dispersion was different that the floodlight. You can get CFL floodlights for around $3.50~$4.00 a pop, but I think I'm gonna live with my $0.75 beauties for a while.
