The Last Frost

New York City Home Depot and perhaps other locations, are selling 4-packs of 100watt or 60watt equivalent compact fluorescent light bulbs for under $10 bucks. I bought two packs and used all 8 bulbs in my apartment and they work great. I'm going to head back tomorrow for more. $10 dollars for 4 bulbs is a great deal, I bought a couple CFL's about a month ago and spent $15 dollars on each of them.

Here are some reasons you should pick some up.

• They last longer than regular bulbs.
• The modern versions don't flicker when turning on like they used to.
• The quality of light is almost indistinguishable from traditional incandescents, and I'm sensitive to fluorescent lights… due to too many hours spent in cubicles.
• They save a lot of energy which means less greenhouse gasses pumped into the atmosphere.
• Plants like 'em!
• They save you money… they say up to $77 bucks a year per bulb… not half bad if it's true.
