Every year I buy a couple of new light fixtures and a bunch of CFL bulbs. National Grid gives a big discount to residents in MA, CT and RI, up to 6 bulbs and 6 fixtures per year.
This year I just bought 4 torchiere light fixtures. They were only $13.50 each. I put 2 in the cellar and one in the garage. What a deal. They work great. Bought 2 white and 2 black.
