60w light bulb = 60 watts
60W CFL light bulb = 13-15 watts
60W LED light bulb = 5-8 watts
I agree CFL is the best value right now but I remember when CFL were expensive also.
It takes economies of scale to bring prices down and early adopters pay for those economies of scale.
I have replaced every bulb in the house with CFL and I got about 8 spares. That should last a couple years.
Hopefully by the time by CFL start burning out LED will be cheaper and I can cut energy consumption even more.
