Reply #40: There are warm white (yellow) CFL's available. They are very comparable to [View All]

an incandescent. We've been using them for several years. Also, there are some very small mini size bulbs available that fit in most any fixture. We have some CFL's that are a 60W equivalent that are smaller than a standard 60W bulb. These bulbs are very commonly available and not very expensive (our energy company also offers rebates for CFL purchases).

For your garage, I can understand using the incandescents, but I would encourage you to check out the CFL's again. Just be sure to watch the labels for "warm white" or "cool white" or compare the lumens to an incandescent. And look for the mini size bulbs - I have seen them in both the Feit brand and Sylvania, in places like Walmart, Menards, Home Depot etc.

They really do make a noticeable difference on your electric bill.
