then, if you dont know of anything else thats been added, then something is wrong, either at your end or theirs.

cause, no way those few cfls doubled your bill.

yea adding 8 23watters and 2 46watters only increases my bill by like 9 dollars. there is no way in hell those bulbs did that to your bill. there is something up there other than those bulbs

My bill went down!! I dont know how but I payed 135 give or take a few bucks and now its 120 So I dont know, I did change out all the other bulbs in the house when I got these bulbs. Maybe that did it I didnt think it would make that much of a difference....

My lights that im running are a high output t5 4 bulb with 2 23 watt cfls

OP check to see if the $127's are estimated bills because they couldn't read your meter. If they have been estimating you for lower then you had been using it will catch up to you when they get to see the meter.
