I once paid about $9 for two of those bulbs and one of them lasted less than a year.

(I'm not exactly sure if the Yorkdale location is in the mall, but should be near the subway station regardless.)

If you want a blue box, green box or grey box now, you get them from Home Hardware. Again, great idea for the store. Get people, who are in a "house and home" mindset already, into your store.

And how many incandescent bulbs did you buy and replace over the course of that year?

My big complaint is that we have several light fixtures that won't accept them because of the fat part at the root of the fluorescent bulb. (it doesn't sound right calling it a bulb.) Several of our light fixtures have decorative shields that are quite narrow near the socket.

It is interesting that as power consumption becomes an issue, the stores are full of halogen light fixtures. Don't they demand a lot of power?

BTW, never pay full price for those things. Keep your eyes open and watch for sales. I've seen the same bulbs with $20/each price difference depending on retailer.

Those things make me want to gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons.

I loathe fluorescent light.
