In Praise of Phillips CF Lightbulbs
I've tried compact fluorescent bulbs in the past and have been unimpressed. Their bases were bulky, they took an extra instant to light up, and their color was off. But I recently purchased an eight-pack of Philips Marathon60 Energy Saving Bulbs at Costco -- 13-watt bulbs that give off the equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent bulb (900 lumens). They're terrific, answering all of my concerns about CF bulbs. And they were inexpensive -- about $2 per bulb. I recommend them.
