Re: [GSAS-Member] where to get "slim" screw-in compact fluorescents?

[Christine Ranegger <cranegger@msn.com>]

We got some of these 11w(60w) Cf bulbs for our 10gal hoods.  You can see the 
picture for a size comparison to the incandecent one that was in there.  We got 
them at the Dollar Store in Burien, next to Grocery Outlet, near A Place for 
Pets.

They had them for a $1 each.  Im not sure if they still have them, but for that 
price, it may be worth checking out.
