Lowes has a six-pack of warm white 60 Watt equivalent bulbs for around $10. Check your local store for price. They're not dimmable, though. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-6-Pack-60W-Equivalent-Warm-White-A19-LED-Light-Fixture-Light-Bulb/50423208
I've been using them for somewhere around a year with no problems. |

Soft white (2700K) Cree or Phillips.
$2 a bulb or lower is possible. Get a couple to see what you think. |

74 cent LED bulbs might be available at your walmart.
They are soft white (2700k) 9w 800 lm (60 Weq) A19 bulbs with medium base. It is this, but they are $2.97 in my local stores. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-GVRLA6027ND4-Great-Value-LED-Light-Bulb-8W-60W-Equivalent-Soft-White-4-Pack/52110489 |

Just an FYI that may not apply to you. If you're a HAM or shortwave listener, you might want to buy a single package of whatever bulbs look good and test them for RFI before you stock up on a bunch. Most of the current generation of LED bulbs are fine (especially the non-dimable ones), but there is still some noisy crap floating around out there. Caveat emptor.

I've been using the Cree 4 flow bulbs from Home Depot for over a year now.
Keep the receipt and the UPC code from the package for the 10 year warranty - just in case. My electric bill went down $10 - 15 a month. I mainly use the low setting on a 3 way Cree bulb (3 watts) and it's plenty of light watching TV. |

Don't forget to look at how many lumens they put out. Some "60W equivalent" LEDs don't even come close to the light output of an actual 60W incandescent. To get the same actual light output, you might have to move up to a "100W equivalent", depending on the brand.

Why the hell would anyone willingly use incandescent or cfl bulbs?
Incandescent bulbs generate more heat then light, LEDs are so cheap and plentiful now.
Soft light bulbs for living spaces, daylight bulbs for garage and shop spaces. Done. |

Quoted:
Way back when we were nearing peak incandescent light bulbs I would stock up on 60 and 75 watts bulbs when I saw them on the clearance end cap. This was back when the doom-n-gloomers were predicting Congress was going to ban incandescent, thus leaving us with those crappy CFLs or the uber expensive LEDs as our only options for home lighting. I've always planned on migrating to LEDs but wanted a stash of incandescent to tide me over until LED prices came down. Now that LED bulbs are cheaper, and my stash of incandescent is almost gone, I'm ready to start making the switch. Just don't know which LEDs to get. Mostly need some LEDs that match as close as possible the warm (not in temp, but color) glow that 60 & 75 watt incandescent put off. Since I know didly-squat about LED light bulbs, I know the hive will come through and guide me through the maze of LED bulb buying. I still have a stash of surplus incandescents from before the great ban.

60 watts is too dim.
I remember when the standard bulb was 100 watt incandescent. I understand the drive to save energy led to going lower, 75, 60 etc. But now that they're moving to efficient CFLs and LEDs, why the continued push down? Where are the cheap 100watt equivalent LEDs I want my house bright. The enviro-whacko watermelons want us all living at peace with mother nature like this:
