Fine, fine! How about some light bulbs?



We now have nothing but compact flourescents in use in every spot we can put them. These bulbs all work but are at varied ages. They are guaranteed to work right now, but I have no clue how long they'll last. There are 4 bulbs in that Sylvania box that are brand new.

So here's what we got.

4 brand-new in-box 60 watt Sylvania Double Life soft white bulbs
3 used 60 watt flame tip candalabra base bulbs
2 used GE 60 watt ultrasoft longlife bulbs
1 used 60 watt soft white bulb
1 used 150 watt GE soft white bulb
1 used 100 watt soft white Sunbeam bulb (yeah, this one's from the range hood)
4 used 40 watt longer life soft white Philips bulbs (two have a bit of blue paint on it)
1 used 60 watt GE xtra life soft white bulb (bit of paint here too)
1 used 60 watt longlife white GE bulb (bit of brown paint)

ETA - I found one more 75 watter, not pictured.

I was going to sell this box on eBay but while researching it realized that it wasn't worth as much as I thought it was.

I don't wish to help people waste watts, but if you know someone who isn't buying compact flourescents any time soon and would like free bulbs, let me know. I will not throw these away. I may smash them for fun though....
