This is OT, but I just have to say I happened to stop by the Fremont Costco today, and stumbled upon some amazing deals on certain types of LED bulbs, like six-packs of PAR-xx/xxW equivalent spots for two dollars, and other stuff. They are mostly in the good warm-white 2700K/3000K range. PGE has some promotional subsidy pricing going on in some California markets, so anyone in the right areas can pick up some great deals. This is reminiscent of what they did in the CCFL era a decade or more ago. I've been an early adopter of LED illumination, and have all kinds of them collected over the years, so of course, I had to get a bunch of different ones to try out, and some more of ones that I paid five to ten times as much for only months ago. These are even cheaper than various questionable ones I've picked up at flea markets recently - and are brand new. Only certain ones (maybe slow-sellers) are priced in closeout ranges, like six-packs or two-packs for two or three bucks, depending on the particulars, but it may be worth a look. I don't know how long the deals and stock will last, but I'll be back looking for more. Usual disclaimer - no, I don't own a Costco store.
