Was up in Nashville area and found a couple Milwaukee M18 2130-20 lights at $149 in stock. Still trying to justify a need for one.

I picked up 2 with the 5.0 batteries for $149.... mixed in with the regular tool-only's.

Bought one and liked it, so I got another to keep in the shed to use in the back yard.

^Those are some good deals, if I hadn't already switched everything to LED I'd grab a few.
Most of the LED deals I see are either special style bulbs, or only $.20 off.

I went all LED at home about five years ago. Those early bulbs were big, pricy, and ran hot. But they did lower my power bill. Now I am replacing those $15 bulbs with cooler running bulbs that cost less than $1. This technology sure did ramp up quickly.

I'd like to get into the led bulbs but I invested too much in the cfl bulbs and have to use those up first. So far I'm only putting led bulbs outdoors due to winter colder weather. Lot of cfl bulbs to use up indoors and those last quite a long time. I may be moving on to the next type of bulb by the time I'm done with cfls and skip right past leds.

Likely false economy - you will save in energy costs with the LEDs, so the savings with the LEDs will pay you to just discard or donate the CFLs.

I have a similar issue - and replacing all my free CFLs with free LEDs :)

It doesn't matter if the CFLs cost you $1 or $1000. You are probably throwing away money every month you keep them. The only thing that matters is how long the LED replacement takes to pay for itself*.

Now is a great time to be buying LEDs. They have been around long enough that there are lots of clearance deals like a few posts back. Chances are bulbs at those price points will pay for themselves in months, not years.


*footnote* You may also care about the quality of the light, but chances are the LEDs will have better quality light than the CFLs. Oh and the LEDs also have to last long enough to pay for themselves and continue saving you money, so check reviews and pass on ones with reports of failures.

For me the quick start up of the LEDs compared to the warm up time of the CFLs alone is worth it. Play around with different bulbs till you find one you like. There are lots of good LEDs around at roughly $1 or less if you find deals. I always resented the CFLs compared to the incandescents, but I am much happier now with the LEDs.

I haven't looked at the consumption led vs cfl recently, I thought I had in the past and it was not a big difference unlike vs regular light bulb. I'll have to look through my bulbs again.

Looks like for a bulb with similar brightness as a 60-watt incandescent, you want a 13-15W CFL (the 60W-equivalent ones I've been getting have always been 13W, but some apparently are up to 15W) or a 6-8W LED. So LED is about half the energy usage of CFL, or one tenth the energy usage of incandescent. Personally I wouldn't discard still-working CFLs for the sake of that relatively-small difference, but will probably be buying LEDs for upcoming as-needed replacements.

Edit: Didn't see someone was complaining about this conversation on the next page until I replied.

I have not been following the thread closely so this is quite likely a repost, but seems like a decent deal assuming these really last any longer. I picked up a couple packs for my game cameras

I now return you to your LED debate...

Fellas. Please post deals and keep the discussion to a minimum. We’ve got forums for discussion. This one is for deals.

Best 20 cents I spend the last few days. I was planning on going back for more, but after this I am sure the cashier went and got the rest of them. 20180624_183139.jpeg

You guys that are finding the tape, are you finding it on a hang tag or location away from the rest of the tape?

I grabbed a couple of those garden carts and left 2. If you are in the NE Ohio area, and are interested, let me know.

In a small cardbox hanging. Some have been next to other tape. Others hanging on random electrical aisles
