I went out and bought a bunch of those compact fluorescent light bulbs. At least I think I did. I got them at Home Depot. They didn't seem to be as expensive as I read so I hope I bought the right ones. I'm pretty sure that I did. These are made by a company called n:vision.
It is interesting that there are several different type of bulbs. You can get 3 versions of the "100 watt" bulb. There's a soft white, bright white and day light. I've replaced most of my regular bulbs in lamps or fixtures that I use often. It will be interesting to see, what if any difference, there will be in my electric bill.
