Most Lowes stores around these parts (South Eastern PA) don't carry the 100 watt if they have incandescent bulbs at all. I have maybe 20 4-packs of each right now. <br /><br />As an aside but related, GE closed all of its incandescent production facilities here in the US and started making those CFL's in Mexico and China.

You purchase the same wattage that you used with incandescents and the lumens (light level) is much lower (which really makes for a challenge while putting your make-up on or shaving). The Eco-friendly part? Most of them are manufactured in China where they don't give a rat's ass about the enviroment.
