Energy Saving Light Bulbs

 If anyone is looking to save some money on the energy bill, then they
should try using CFL bulbs.  These bulbs use 15-25w compared to
60-120w of a regular bulb.  I found these energy saving bulbs at good
price at Energylightbulbs.com

 
  Compare to K-Mart and home centers.  And where do people use 120w
regular bulbs?

 I bought one 11w and a 23w bulb from IKEA last year.  They give the room a
green color.  Are there some that provide better results as far as
appearance?  IKEA sells odd stuff from Europe and they were really cheap.

  I don't see them greenish by much - the usual deviation from
"black body color" (incandescent color) that I see is the opposite -
towards purple-pink.  If you want that, then you my like Sylvania 3000K
models such as a 13 watt mini-spiral that I saw at Drug Emporium, probably
also available at Lowes.
  If you are talking about the Sylvania 11, 15, and 20 watt "double
U-tube" and 23 watt "triple U-tube" "Dulux EL" 2700K electronic ballasted
models, my experience is that they are about incandescent color while most
other warm color compact fluorescents are slightly pinker.

  Sunbeam 24 watt mini-spirals are also even pinker than average, as of
when I tried one from K-Mart several months ago.

There is no Kmart where I live but the price is  comparabale for the
15w bulb and much less for the daylight bulbs (check out for your
self...can you find a 20w daylight(6400k) bulb for less then $8
canadian.)
I'm suprised that you don't know of a 120w bulb, but here in canada
its used in industrial areas and also where a alot of light is needed.
