Try something like 26 watts. Just buy one or two and see if you like them. They're really expensive.

Ask if you can take them back before you buy them. Many places (Lowe's) will let you return.

Also, if you have the lights on for long periods, they will save money. If they are turned on and off several times a day for only a half hour or so, they will not be nearly as energy efficient.

If they are turned on for a few minutes to see what's in the fridge, they will be pretty dim and will actually use more power than incandescents.

Make sure they are dimmable, if that's important - standard ones are not. I believe you need a special dimmer, too.
