How Light Bulbs pricing is compared on Dealophant
Listings are ranked by price per bulb. Marketing terms like "double roll", "mega pack", or "family size" are unwound — what matters is the actual bulb count, which Dealophant extracts from the product title.
We calculate cost per individual bulb across all pack sizes, wattages, and color temperatures.
Each listing's total Amazon price is divided by the bulb count extracted from the product title and (where available) cross-checked against Amazon's own price.pricePerUnit field. The result is a single live price-per-bulb number that's directly comparable across every brand and pack size in the category. The lowest price per bulb earns the "Best Value" badge.

Cross-unit listings (for example a serving-count tub mixed in with weight-based tubs) are shown separately under "Other formats" so the price-per-bulb ranking stays apples-to-apples.

- Usually yes, but not always — Dealophant has seen single-pack light bulbs undercut bulk on a per-bulb basis when the smaller size is on sale or has a Subscribe & Save discount the bulk listing doesn't. That's why Dealophant always recomputes per-bulb price live rather than assuming bigger = cheaper.
