LOL ... You are a true friend after all ... I would have figured I'd have to get them for $5.50 seeing as I'm biased and GC has such a hefty retirement package coming his way ...
Well there is the stipulation that HE cannot use them.

Ah, the incandescent bulb--the space heater that manages to put out a little bit of light. The reason people place them near their water meters during cold snaps is not to give the spiders light to read the meter by, but rather to keep the meter warm. As modern lighting goes, though, they are very inefficient.
Mine seem to last just fine, then again I know how to operate a light switch, they go on and OFF.
This is my whole point, if you want cfl or led go for it. Its up to you to choose not some govt asshat telling us what we can have in our own damn house. Its not about the lightbulb its about freedom and free markets, if cfls were the best **** ever then they would have crushed the incandescent market, They didn't and since They weren't selling I feel like some cronyism happened and the govt decided to step in and make it happen. All this **** starts with a little nudge and people just take it. Its just a little nudge well eventually someones going to get nudged right off a cliff.
Im in a pissy mood today so just ugh im feeling very ranty.
Dennis is correct, here is a direct link.

60 and 75s run less then $3 each and do not have the health problems that can come from CFLs. Being rough service these should last a lot longer then standard bulbs too.

But what I hate more is some govt ass telling me what I can or cannot have in my home because some dipshit said global warming is happening and lightbulbs are killing the planet.
I miss toilets that will actually handle your business and shower heads that will wash you clean, too!
I like a shower that beats you up, but living in the country on a well and a septic system, the low gallon flush toilets are the only way to go. We did a complete house remodel two years ago, and had to do away with the big shower heads and 3.5 gallon flush toilets.
As far as the toilets, we bought the best available. They are pricey, but they rate them now on how well they flush. Personally, I think they are better than the old toilets. The first models of the low gallon flush used the same tech as the 3.5 flush and didn't work well. The new designs are great. We live 129' above our water well on a ridge, and those pumps are really expensive to replace as they have to develop high pressures to pump adequate head pressure to the house.

I'm with ya. Those new bulbs trigger migraines in me. I want my incandescent bulbs ...
BB, Have you tried the LED bulbs? I wonder if they would bother you the same way CREE makes one that has a color in the 2700K range
If you are really wanting some of the incandescent ones and are not having any luck I think Broken Arrow Electric has them up to 100W.
I did too, that's why for several years anytime I bought a new shower head I'd pull it a part and drill it out until it released the
kind of output that was acceptable to me for a decent hot shower.
