Don't be shocked by the price. Yes, they do cost a bit more than incandescent bulbs but then they last up to 13 times longer too which overall makes them more cost efficient than incandescent.

If you are wondering what compact fluorescent lamps are, commonly called CFLs, they are a fluorescent with a screw in base designed for modern light fixtures.
