After the Con Edison billing mess<\/a>, I’ve been looking for ways to reduce the amount of power used without pre-spending the years of savings I’m hoping to see.<\/p>\n

Enter the Home Depot 60 watt compact fluorescent contractor pack, while it doesn’t mention it on the packaging these bulbs do give off light at 2700 degree Kelvin (a warm light as opposed to the daylight 5600 Kelvin CFs). For $20.00 you’ll get 12 bulbs, which, if you’ve checked out the prices of Compact fluorescent bulbs<\/a>\"spacer\" single bulbs, is a deal.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a 75 or 150-watt contractor pack\u00c2\u00a0at Home Depot,\u00c2\u00a0however,\u00c2\u00a0if you live on Long Island, the Long Island Power Authority (aka “LIPA”) has established a partnership with an organization called Energy Federation Incorporated<\/a>. The benefit? Reduced pricing on compact fluorescent\u00c2\u00a0 bulbs (and a few other energy saving items). The cost? A yearly maximum is applied to the number of items you can purchase with that discount (6-10 compact fluorescent bulbs, per year). If you reside outside of Long Island, EFI also has partnerships with a few other utilities that might be closer to you – here’s the list<\/a><\/p>\n
