This Flying Alarm Clock is perfect for college students, graveyard workers, or anyone who likes fun gadgets.

15-Watt Medium Base Flood CFL

You don’t need to break the bank on your electrical bill each month in order to enjoy soft, bright lights. Toss that short-life, high-energy incandescent bulb and replace it with the 15-Watt Medium Base Flood CFL, a compact fluorescent bulb that fits in any standard indoor or outdoor bulb base and emits 560 Lumens – higher than the 450 Lumens emitted by a comparable 40-watt incandescent bulb. You’ll conserve energy with every use without sacrificing the soft glow associated with incandescent lamps, and this long-life bulb will last up to 6000 hours, more than four times that of standard, 1500-hour incandescent bulbs.

  • 15-watt compact fluorescent emits more light than 40-watt incandescent bulb
  • One bulb pays for itself in lower electric bills in about five months
  • CFL bulb will last up to 6000 hours – more than 4x the life of the standard incandescent bulb
  • Safe for indoor and outdoor use
  • Price: $26.99
