one way to make your home more energy efficient is to make use of energy saving light bulbs. These are widely available and easy to install. “Energy efficient bulbs may not be a new innovation but it’s surprising how many households have yet to make the change.” Many people do not realise that they can make their homes greener whilst also saving money this way. Still not convinced? We bust some of the most popular myths about energy saving bulbs. Myth 1: Energy Saving Bulbs Are Expensive The initial purchase price of energy saving bulbs is higher than that of a traditional incandescent bulb. However, energy saving bulbs use up to 80% less electricity, saving energy and lowering power costs. Even if only one energy saving light bulb is fitted within a household, this can translate to a saving of around £10 per year on electricity bills, or around £100 over the bulb’s lifetime. Energy saving bulbs also have greater staying power than traditional bulbs, leading to even greater savings. Myth 2: Simply Changing A Light Bulb Will Not Make A Difference To The Environment If significant savings on electricity bills is not convincing enough, consider this: if every household installed just one energy saving bulb, the energy saved would be sufficient to power all the streetlights in Britain for an entire year. Each bulb also accounts for a saving of 38 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. Committing to one more energy efficient bulb per household is therefore a huge step towards a cleaner, greener planet. Myth 3: Energy Saving Bulbs Cannot Be Used With Older Appliances Contrary to popular belief, energy saving bulbs offer just as much if not more choice than the traditional range of bulbs and lights. Adapters can also be bought for older appliances. And of course, although better for the environment, it’s not necessary to change every bulb in the home at the same time. They can be introduced gradually as traditional bulbs fail and require a replacement. Myth 4: Fitting An Energy Saving Bulb Is Enough

The best deals I have seen on Fluorescent lamps was at Costco. They had some bulbs that looked like conventional light bulbs, but were actually fluorescent, put out the same amount of light as a 100 watt, but were actually 30 watt, good luck. A note of caution, when you first turn them on, they are a bit dim for a short period of time, but come up to full brightness,worth the wait!

The ones here are in a 24-pack. I know you want them in a 6-pack, but these are only $2.99/bulb for compact fluorescents.

This is the cheapest place I've found. They are on sale for only $1.99/bulb, which brings it to a total cost of only $1,193.50 for 600 bulbs! The only problem is that they come in 12 packs.

I just cant find cheap wholesale lightbulbs that come in 6-packs, sorry. Try searching for wholesale energy efficient light bulbs or wholesale light bulbs
