All I wanted is a couple of 1950 style light bulbs.
Looking in Menards, the types, base size, razzaldazzle, fancy pants, HIGH PRICED$$$$$, "energy efficient", and so on bulbs.
I just want bulbs for a corn crib, maybe on two hours a year.

put LED in there and never look back. Can't understand what folks would have against LED> I know about FL... but that didn't bother us, but i got it.
I've not seen one bad thing about LED.

The LED's are great. You can even get a "100 watt equivalent" and stick it in a "60 watt max" fixture, and really brighten things up. (1600 lumens vs. 800)
You can still find "hard service" lightbulbs for fans and garage door openers if you were to need a "heat source" in addition to the light.
The CFL's suck...
PS You want a "color temp" of 2700k to match normal old incandescent bulbs.

I've not seen one bad thing about LED. The spiral shaped LED lights suck ass. I found some 100 watt LED's that are shaped like normal light bulbs that I'm going to try in the garage however. They're expensive but "supposed" to last 10 years. So we'll see. **Edit** I think the spiral bulbs are fluorescent not LED. My bad.

LED's are great and prices are getting lower but who wants to spend $10 or more for a bulb that gets used 1 or 2 times a year per the OP?

I just bought 2x 300 watt incandescent bulbs today at the Wally World. I use these for the garage general lighting.
Otherwise, everything is/has been swapped to LED. I really like LED bulbs, much, much better than CFL ever were. Yeah, they're expensive-er, but they will last longer and I like the "daylight" 6000K color.

I have converted in my mind to LED's. That's nothing. I've converted in my mind to a retired millionaire. Just wait til the guys at work hear about this!!

Be careful to check service life ratings... the cheap ones are usually cheap for a reason...
