    That would be very high for a CFL.

    Here is an 11W CFL:
    http://www.electricalwholesaler.ie/Products/11W-CFL-60mm-Golf-Ball-SBCB15-Bulb-Energy-Saving-Warm-White---HLO5417__HLO5417.aspx

    1000W for 1 hour (a unit) will cost about €0.19 with Electric Ireland (check exact unit cost on your bill). Using this unit cost the 11W CFL shown in the link above will cost €0.00209 per hour to run.

    if you are thinking of buying one, dont.
    LEDs are way better and cost is now comparable to CFL.
