I got a bunch of these
EcoSmart 40W Equivalent Bright White (3000K) A19 LED Light Bulb (4-Pack)-ECS GP19 WW 40WE 120 at The Home Depot
They use 6 watts about $5 a bulb and they are Dimmable
I really think they are brighter than a 40 watt bulb.
I have these in my 3 light fans and on my porch outside lights even my vanity lights in the bath rooms.
