&lt;p&gt;Although some people complain about the light quality, CFLs come in three different color temperatures to adjust to your lighting needs. &amp;nbsp;Soft white, bright white and daylight. &amp;nbsp;There is a nice color temperature chart at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.springlightcfl.com/cfl_color_temperature.aspx"&gt;www.springlightcfl.com/cfl_color_temperature.aspx&lt;/a&gt; so you can see what would work best for your needs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is also a nice CFL savings calculator at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.springlightcfl.com/consumer/energy_savings_calculator.aspx"&gt;www.springlightcfl.com/.../energy_savings_calculator.aspx&lt;/a&gt; so you can see how much money, electricity and carbon emissions you might save by changing out your whole house. &amp;nbsp;If you feel like buying online, check out &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.springlightstore.com/"&gt;www.springlightstore.com&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I bought several for my home and so far they work great.&lt;/p&gt;
