New light bulbs have steep price

LED lights and CFL’s may be energy-saving in the long run, but $8 for a CFL or $20 for an LED, when you can buy four incandescents for $3, is a shot in the pocketbook. Of course, the LEDs and CFLs are intended for a longer life span, thereby costing the consumer less in the long run, but it’s not easy to digest when you are on a limited or fixed income or are earning only $8 an hour (the cost of one CFL)
