Yep, gotta check the "brick and mortar" store. Lowes and Walmart around me are like that - the physical stores have lower prices than what their internet websites list for online ordering.

I don't know about Home Depot in my area... I've come to prefer Lowes.

I just picked up a couple of Cree 60 watt equivalent 800 lumens 9.5 watt bulbs at Home Depot for $7.97 each. > LINK < The price seems to vary by store, try using zip code 02852. These are dimmable bulbs that don't buzz when you dim them.

You're right, the price does vary by store. As you see it is a heck of a lot more expensive here.

. LED bulbs have improved and come down considerably in cost. A 60W dimmable equivalent LED is now under $10. As we move forward I suspect we will see even greater improvements and cost reductions.

where are LED bulbs available for that? I have seen them from about $17 to $23 in my local stores. and no I don't want to mail order them from China. I'll have to check out HD to see those $5.00 ones.

I bought some LED 60W equivalents at Costco (FEIT brand, I recall) for ~$8 each that were great and the Cree's at Home Depot are only a little more expensive.

Mr. Wizard, I've been singing that song for several years.. And the evidence is that if Human activity has caused any change in speed.. It is very very minior (I could not see any discontinuity in the graphs I viewed.

On the issue of light bulbs.. The thing.. This applies to 120 volt lamps in teh 20-100 watt range (Might be 15-100 watt range) I have a grand total of ZERO of those in this motor home.. All my 120 volt lamps are:
Florcesent (And under 15 watts) or
9Watt 7.5 watt or 4 watt Christmas tree lamps (or smaller) OR LED (Tree lights) or 150 watt (Flood lamp) Not one lamp is bothered at all by this rule.

Human kind might be a factor in speeding up the change
But nature and weather have always been changing, since time immemorial

Now back to the topic of light bulbs

I'm with you, MrWizard. This Global Climate Change has been going on for centuries.
