Up here in Canada
Those a lot the incandecent light bulbs here actually cost more than the CFL light bulbs. The basic 60 and 100 watt incandecent light bulb is cheaper but anything else is more expensive. I have an old lamp that take these small incandecent light bults, I think they are 25 watt, and they are about 4 times more expensive than the CFL version. It's just too bad the CFL bulbs are too big to fit in the lamp.
