Low watt CFLs

I can not find any CFLs lower than 60 watts.



Is that some design limitation ?



Thanks.


Hi, But they are on smaller base. Won't fit into regular fixture.

I'm ASSuming you mean a 60 watt equivalent - and even there, you are way off. I had 40 watt equivalent (7 watt) CFLs before switching over to LED

I couldn't figure it out either.

I have some CFLs in my driveway lamp post. They look like 20 watt equivalent. They were not hard to find, right there in a supermarket. They use the small screw in base, but came with adapters that would have allowed me to put them in a standard size lamp.

Best thing I ever did, I was changing those damn driveway lamp bulbs (all 3 of them), at least once a year. It must be 4 or 5 years now, all 3 going strong.

My 7 watts were E27 base - sold as "ceiling fan" bulbs.
