Why??? WTF was wrong with traditional bulbs? What government entity thought this was a smart idea? Did they include subsidies for the poor to be able to afford these bulbs?
YOU GOT SCREWED! Unless you bought an LED. Take heart, one CFL will outlast an incandescent by 8 to 15 times while using only one fourth the energy.
Just think how good a deal you would have gotten had you paid attention.

Interesting. Next time I need a single light bulb I'll pretend it's a major purchase & "shop around"
Lol seriously? It's a light bulb not a car
No, just a book, or small applianceThe new bulbs need to last 10 times as long, actually. I got 2 for $4.69 & thought that was high.
They don't last anywhere near "ten times" as long. I had plenty of those stupid fucking bulbs burn out shortly after buying them.
