The yellowish-orange light that incandescent lamps give off is similar to
the color of the light candles emit.

There's no reason that we should stick to that puny sickly color.

CFL lamps can do a good job of emulating daylight.

Regarding energy. When I had incandescent lamps in our high hats I could
warm the room by simply turning the lights on.

This was an indicator of how much extra energy (and money) I needed to waste
during air-conditioning season.

No more. I had these for years. I would never go back.

You want "Daylight" bulbs, 6500K ... revel are better than most CFLs,
but still lack the brightness and whiteness of Daylight ... normal "warm
white" or "cool white" are little better than incandescent ...

Yes 6500K DayLight CFL Bulbs are very good.

The Full Spectrum CFL Bulbs are even better
and can be Very Good for Your Health too . . .

In 1966, the temperature in Corinth,Mississippi got down to nineteen
degrees below zero.I bet those Incandescent Light Bulbs felt good for
hand warmers.

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.

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.

I also discovered a very interesting problem with CFLs and pets. The
old fashioned fluorescent bulbs use a magnetic ballast that operates
at 60hz and the flicker would drive some people crazy. The new CFLs
operate at 20,000 hz and this " drive em crazy" problem has gone away.
HOWEVER, the 20,000hz of the CFLs emit a 20,000hz sound that dogs and
cats can hear and it drives THEM crazy.

In an experiment, a CFL was put in a single room where a dog would
frequently lay. When the CFL was installed, the dog wouldn't go in
that particular room any more.

My cats seem to have no response to our CFLs.

How do you know?

Try the experiment where you use incadescent bulbs in all of your
rooms and put a CFL in his/her favorite sleeping place.
