Low wattage (5W or less) CFLs...

Need to replace a 5W that died earlier in the week, had no luck finding anything under 8W in town yesterday and a quick online search basically came up empty (with .au sites at least).

Does anyone know anywhere in Aus that sells them? Need a bayonet type with a warm colour temperature... thanks for any helpful replies.

I bought a Philips 5W from Bunnings a few days ago. The one I got was cool white colour temp, but pretty sure they had warm white there as well.

These guys are the ducks nuts for lighting gear, usually inexpensive too (ie same or less than any other source).

Perhaps, but a bit of a hassle due to the combo powerpoint/light switch. A 5W globe would be much easier :)

Yesterday I found them in Big W - Phillips Tornado

Thanks for that David, unfortunately the nearest Big W is about 250KM away! But I do head down to Hobart about once a month, so I may well get one then.

Got a warm white 5W at Bunnings yesterday, thanks for the suggestion Doug.

IKEA sells 7 Watt CFLs. I also bought 4 Watt ones from them but cannot find them online at the moment. They're good quality bulbs rebranded.

4W would be nice, alas there is no Ikea store anywhere near here, maybe they sell online.

I'm looking forward to LED versions appearing, and at a reasonable price... one day. I find that I can hear a high pitched whine coming from many CFLs, and then theres the matter of the toxic contents of CFLs.
