How much do CFLs cost compared to incandescent bulbs?
CFLs are available in bulk for as low as $4.00 per bulb and can cost as much as $20.00 per bulb for ones that are designed for special applications, such as dimmer switches. In comparison, incandescent bulbs typically range from $1.50-$4.00. Although the initial cost of CFLs is higher, they are less costly in the long term and much more energy efficient than using regular incandescent bulbs.
