Need 7 dimmable CFL light bulbs, standard size.

Edit: Found a deal on amazon, 12 pack for $42 shipped.

I've looked at walmart, big lots, home depot and lowes. No one sells a pack, only individually, always around $10 each. Anyone have any suggestions?

wattage???

I saw an amazon special on these 7 for 25.00 shipped when looking for a filler, 3.84 each is a good filler. I hate those fillers that are just trinkets youdont end up using. You always need light bulbs.

Why? Dimmable LEDs are out now. I got 60 watt equivalent soft white dimmable for $6 each the other day. I have read that just about ALL dimmable CFLs hum.

Where did you get them from?

I got my LED dimmables at Costco. And yeah, most dimmable CFLs suck

Cosco as well. And seeing what I see with LEDs, I will tell you right now, CFLs are not going to be around much longer. LEDs have completely obsoleted CFLs. In fact, I predict within 3 years they will be outlawed do to their extreme environmental unfriendliness.

it looks like the "GreenLite" brand of CFL is quiet, the rest seem to make an annying "zzzzzzz" noise that is just loud enought to be annoying. However in places where noise is not a factor (industrial) I think CFL's will remain in use longer.

BTW: Our CFLs burn out at the same rate as our incandescent bulbs. There are reports that CFLs can and do burn out destructively and catch on fire.

Every time Cosco has a sale, I pick up 20 or so LEDs. We will soon be almost 100% LED. I have around 35 bulbs in my basement alone to replace. LEDs last 37000 hours plus. CFLs take over 5 minutes to get to full brightness. They lose (permanently) brightness from the moment you start using them. LEDs turn on instantly and keep the exact same light output for their entire 37000 hour plus lifetime. I see no future for CFL.

if you don't want to get LEDs i'd pick up some incandescents first before buying dimmable CFLs . You can actually still get 100W ones online (Amazon and a few other places) if that's the wattage you're looking for, otherwise you can get the 75W and under pretty much anywhere bulbs are sold.
