I always suggest to my clients that they change these bulbs to the more energy efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs last 25 times longer than regular bulbs, use about 1/10th of the electricity, and attract less bugs.
Today amazon is selling a 6 pack of these bulbs for only $17.83. That is less than $3.00 per bulb. This is a good deal. Even at regular prices it is worth it, but at this price you will recoup your money on as little as a couple of months.
Here it is;
This will bring your electrical usage of your postlight from 120 watts down to 12 watts. Mind you, this gives you SIX bulbs.....enough for both you and a neighbor....Hope this helps!
