This is an update (and bump) of a fantastic deal posted last November. Since saving energy (especially electricity) is even more vital now than when we originally posted this ...
This deal is available if you're a customer of PG&E: Pacific Gas & Electric, Northern California and perhaps other areas.
============
CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs are available at **incredible savings** (70% off) for PG&E customers (Northern California). CFL bulbs normally cost $10-$15 each; you can get them for $2-$4!
Quick Link to CHEAP CFL bulbs for PG&E Customers
This deal was originally scheduled to end December, 2000. But the link above now shows you can order until March 20, 2001.
NOTES:
==============
1. CFL bulbs work great -- our electric bill (usage, actually) has dropped monthly since we began installing CFLs. CFL bulbs use about 65-70% LESS energy than standard incandescent bulbs for the same output. They also last 8-10 times longer -- they save lots of time replacing hard-to-replace bulbs, and save $$$ for years.
2. This deal is for customers of PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) who are "Multi-Unit Dwelling Customers" (apartment/coop/condo dwellers). BUT... we **called** in our order and were **not** asked where/in-what we lived.
In other words, if you're a PG&E customer, PLEASE DO THIS! It's a fantastic deal, and you'll save money for years! (Ask questions if you're unsure.)
3. You pay **no** tax or shipping if you order from a vendor outside of California (see JKRL below).
4. JKRL, the vendor we ordered from ($200), offers the greatest variety of sizes/wattages. But, their service can be horrible -- although they're polite/nice/apologetic, we ordered in November, and received our stuff today (February, 14, 2001 -- and it's still incomplete)!
5. We've learned the following (offered so you know what to expect and aren't initially disappointed): CFL bulbs may flicker briefly when coming on, and may yield yellow/dim light initially; but within 20-30 seconds, the yellow tint disappears, and they burn bright-white.
[soapbox mode on] If you're hesitating to do this, ASK questions. It's a great/smart/responsible thing to do; and since CFL bulbs last 8-10 times longer than normal light bulbs, you'll save $$$ and time for years!!! [/soapbox mode off]
