13. I don't know where they're getting their figures from.

Home Depot has the Philips 12w (60w equivalent) on in a 4 pack for $98. This is the type I bought and they are fantastic with great light. They also have on the 8w (40w equiv) in a 4 pack for $85, the 17w (75w equiv) in a 4 for $156, and, for some reason, the 10w (60w equiv and award winner - probably the one from the article) in a single pack for $50. These prices include free delivery. For the energy savings of the 8w over 10w, the cost doesn't justify the extra $25 a bulb.
