Correct light bulbs to use for the outside lights.

The key words to look at in the light bulb rule are highlighted below.  We are looking to change the wording of this rule to something generic.  Tried to help everyone out by giving a few brands at the time the rule was written in 2015.  The stores do not carry these brands anymore and/or the companies keeps changing things up.

8.  Walkway, Bed and Garage Lighting

A.  All walkway, front porch and garage lighting must use a 60 watt equivalent white, compact florescent “daylight” only bulb:

    1)     SYLVANIA 2-Pack 13-Watt (60W Equivalent) 6,500K Spiral Medium Base (E-26) Daylight CFL Bulbs Item #: 302424 |  Model #: 26965 $6.98, available at Lowes, or

    2)  EcoSmart 60W Equivalent Daylight (6500K) Spiral Double Life CFL Light Bulb Model # ES5M814TS65KCAN Inernet # 205388175 Store SKU # 1000638434 $3.98 each at Home Depot

The electrical specialist assisted me in finding an equivalent light bulb.  He first looked up the light bulbs stated in our rules and said that Home Depot does not carry those anymore.  Did state the bulbs described above were also 860 lumens, which we failed to note in our rules.  He recommended the bulbs below.

The package of the light bulbs that I purchased at Home Depot states the following:

Front:  Phillips Daylight Deluxe 13w replaces 60w.  Brightness = 860 lumens

Back:  Light Appearance 6500k

Home Depot Receipt says the following: 

046677420093 PLC13T2-4P

PLC 13w(60w) T2 CFL Daylight 4Pk

Hope this helps,
