I use a combination of old fashioned and new fashioned CFLs.
As already mentioned, it makes no sense to use CFLs in a hallway or
stairway where the light is only on for less than a minute.
Good ones are on instantly.
It also makes no sense to use CFLs in decorative bathroom lights or
ANY light where the fixture points down like an upside down tulip or a
ceiling canister light. The upside down tulip or canister builds up
heat which will kill a capacitor in the CFL.
Unless you're a clueless halfwit.
