Several different sources of cheap CFLs... our local utility has a
program of offering them at highly discounted rates:
http://www.estarlights.com/
But several local "closeout" wharehouse stores sell them for half
these prices... 50 cents to a buck a piece. Another advantage... they
burn much much cooler and don't contribute to your a/c load in the hot
months.
Relative to color temp, long gone are the days when these lamps
produced a horrendous, spikey, green/blue light that make you look
like a friend of Orson Wells' Mercury Theatre. To the eye they appear
to give a much more natural light than the average obviously orange
incandescent...

Where are you getting such cheap bulbs, they are
certainly very much more expensive locally.
