Whoops. Didn't back check far enough. Same page too. Shame on me.

But I still think it's a scam by bulb manufacturers to come up with something new, more expensive - MUCH more expensive because in many cases you have to buy special switches as well.
Overall sales volume goes down with CFLs, more expensive light bulbs are sold but far fewer are.

60W equivalents can be had for $1.65/bulb, a 100W for $2.52.

$.40 to $.75 for an incandescent, and 8 of them are used over the life of a CFL. Whoever is using incandescents is spending more money on bulbs.
