Low Energy Candle Bulbs

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get low energy bayonet fitting candle-style bulbs?

I need 16 - only low wattages though as they are all 2 or 3 bulb fitments (rented house, so can't change them).

They do need to be a good light quality though, as I suffer from SAD, and really don't want to aggravate it any more than necessary

    Thanks for that link Frosty - best prices I've seen, and a few stocking fillers to boot (may as well get the free postage) :D

    I don't know if it applies or not, but this came up when I googled free low energy light bulbs- the reason I looked for free ones was we got 4 free at work as part of a save energy touring promotion...

    I hope this helps someone even if it doesn't apply to you..:D

    Thanks Ailuro

    I did take up their offer a few years ago at another address - didn't realise they were still doing it, so worth a try - they'll be useful for other areas of the house.
