Use your search engine of choice on the web, you’ll find them. To get you started:

http://www.1000bulbs.com/Dimmable-Compact-Fluorescent-Bulbs/?utm_source=0&utm_medium=0&gclid=CPuxxMSvtZACFVB1OAodaE6aMA

If you don’t find exactly what you need today, wait six months. CFL’s are young technology, which means they’re improving rapidly as manufacturers learn how to make them better. So don’t stock up, keep a small reserve for immediate replacements, when you use them up buy again.

CFL’s are at their best when they’re used for long periods of the day, less so when they’re turned on for a minute or two per day, like closets. Swap out your bulbs, keep your incandescents to use in closets or other low use areas until they burn out, but there’s not much point in buying more incandescents. Unless you have medical or other issues with CFL’s - some people do.

“keep your incandescents to use in closets “
Considered a fire hazard and are against code in many places!
In the near future, the guy who sidles up to your car, and asks,”Do you wanna buy some rocks?” will be askin’ “Hey! Wanna buy a light bulb?”
