CFL is crap, use LED lights. Last 20x longer with 1/20th the energy use. Replacing incandescent with CFL is a wash, replacing them with LED is a no-brainer.

- tempestn 12y agoMuch more attractive too, if you prefer a redder (more like incandescent) light indoors. Modern LED bulbs are really good.
- jpindar 12y agoYou can get LED lights in a variety of color temperatures. You can even get ones like my Phillips Hue bulbs whose color can be adjusted remotely. They aren't cheap but they're a lot of fun!
- tempestn 12y agoFor sure. I just meant that if you prefer bluer light, you can get that with CFLs, but they can't give you the 'softer' light that we're used to from incandescents, while LEDs can (if that's your preference).
