More boring than a 7 watt lightbulb


i am sorry i couldn't come up with a less boring picture. I've been trying out these 7watt cfl bulbs that are supposedly comparable to 25 watts of the old school bulbs. They are kind of expensive when compared to the 9 or 13 watt bulbs that can be found fairly cheap in bulk stores, walmarts, etc etc.

I really like them. We have them in the kitchen, in my bathroom, and in this lamp. the light starts off dim usually, but builds up to have a pretty nice glow and a nice color too.

Initially i had to purchase 1 by 1, but for my bathroom i used a vanity 3 pack. i think its brighter, but basically for the price of 21 watts i get 75ish? not bad. at least i think it works that way. i stink at math!

anyway, they are not for everywhere but they are nice and often provide a comfortable amount of ambient light for cheap. so next time you're replacing a bulb....consider trying one. i'm sure you could give it away if you end up not liking it!
