Here in California I typically pay US$1 for a compact fluorescent. 20
percent of them die in about a year or so, the rest usually last about 4
years. Then you can salvage them for some nice UL-listed caps and a couple
of sweet inductors, and usually a bridge rectifier.

Also, electricity sometimes hits US$0.25 per kilowatt-hour, so any savings
is welcome.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
