I don’t really care about the bulb cost myself, at the wattage these things are, you can make that money back over the cost of the bulb easy. The problem is look at the lumens. For reference, a 15 watt CFL = 60 watt incandescent = 900 lumens. There is nothing on that liust that comes close. You’ll also note that CFL is more efficient than these white LED bulb replacments.
