I was just pleased to be able to find some low-wattage CFL bulbs with an edison screw fitting. It is possible to pick them up at low prices sometimes, but the moment I started looking they were £2.50+ each for sizes I didn't want. Bayonet fittings are more common in the UK. I've never seen any choice in colour temperature here or perhaps I've not noticed it.

You can get deals on CFLs at 3 for $10 here in NZ. Thats about half your price in the UK...

No wonder I left!!

The cheapest ones I picked up here were 1p each, yes, that's one penny. A local supermarket was doing a green promotion and they were limited to 4 per customer, but there was no check on how often a customer could go through the till ;-)

Once chain here (Robert Dyas) seems to do a 3 for £1 deal, ie ~US$0.60 each, fairly regularly, and these are a good-brand-name bulb (Philips).
