This wish has been granted!!!!
Ever since we moved into a new house in August, light bulbs keep blowing like crazy.
Our electric company sent us one of those energy efficient bulbs and we tried it and love it. Not only does it save energy, but it also saves money and it actually lasts.
These are the details:
These Great Value bulbs save energy, save money, last longer and provide the same quality of light as conventional Soft White bulbs and are ENERGY STAR? qualified. These light bulbs use compact fluorescent technology (CFL).
Great Value CFL Light Bulb: 18 Watt (75W Equiv), 4-Pk:
* How much will this bulb save me in energy costs?
Each bulb will save $57 in energy costs over the life of the bulb, based on $0.10 per kWh.
* How many bulbs are included?
Four (4) bulbs are included.
* How long will one bulb last?
Each bulb is guaranteed to last 6 years based on average consumer use.
* How much energy does each bulb use?
Each bulb uses 18 watts and produces as much light as a conventional 75 watt bulb. This will reduce energy use by more than 75%.
Key benefits, compared to standard incandescent light bulbs:
o Lasts up to 3 times longer
o Uses 75% less energy, saving money on energy bills
o Same quality of light as Soft White bulbs
o Stays cooler
o Goes on instantly, flicker-free
o Approved for indoor and outdoor use (more)

Congrats on your wish being granted. Hope they work well for you.
wow, another one being granted, great.
Seconding what rebelwithkidz says. These are great for saving energy, but are highly toxic if they break. And when they do burn out, they really need to go to a proper disposal area (not in the trash). We usually only use them in overhead lights (not table lamps), since the kidlets occasionally tend to dump over the lamps and I don't want my house labeled a toxic waste dump....
Be careful about these types of bulbs should they break they release Mercury vapor into the air.
Good luck I hope your wish comes true.
I am happy to see you had great luck with the bulbs, we bought a bunch last year and not one lasted over a day. Normal bulbs last 1 to 2 years for us, but I was bummed when these new energy eff. ones did not.
Good luck and I hope you get them!
Believe me I feel your pain... bulbs blow like the wind around here... good luck...
We have been using this type of bulb all over the house for years! Good Luck!
Love the things... hope you win.... gave you 5

I have some of these bulbs and love them! Good luck, and please get the wiring checked out just to make sure y'all are safe there.
Did ya see Ed Beagley Jr on HGTV recently talking about 'greening up out homes ...' I loved the information and the best place one can begin is to use the bulbs you want to buy. Good for you! I hope this wins!

gl!
Oh yeah - we got those from our power company too - and they are AWESOME! We *just* went out and bought some more! We had to get some made by a different company but essentially they're the same thing. On the box it says they last 8 YEARS!! Best of luck to you! :)
I looked over your wish
and gave you my five
Hope you win
goodness sakes alive!
I so want to downvote this, light bulbs being my natural enemy, but since you have a shot at winning, I won't. You should be aware though that the oscillating frequency of fluorescent lights is known to disrupt brain activity. My senses are more acute than most people's, so it effects me more. Although the compacts are at a higher frequency than the traditional fluoresces, maybe they won't have the same effect on average people.
Good luck!
