The only issue I have with that is the color of the light. I'm a blondish haired guy of primarily German ansestry and a German sized fellow who burns in 10 minutes of direct sunlight. I think I'm 10% vampire(mostly because I see the neck of nubile young women and I want to suck on it, but that's besides the point) but the real issue is I look deathly ill under those lamps. I really like those Reveal bulbs because they make me look human.
Do they really make a difference? I am willing to toss a couple of them around the house.
They do make a big difference. I use them in lights that are on a lot, like the lamp in the living room that's on a timer to make me look home.
The math is pretty simple - a 15 watt CFL gives equivalent light output to something like a 70 watt incandescent, because it isn't wasting power generating heat in addition to light. The bulbs are practically cool to the touch even after they've been running a while - and they don't heat up the room anymore. And forget buzzing or flickering - that's fluorescents from 30 years ago.
And, even better, they now have full-spectrum ("Reveal") compact fluorescents, which is what you're looking for.
They also last much longer. I was talking to somebody who moved recently - he unscrewed all his CFL bulbs and brought them with him, because they still had something like three years of life left. You save money both on the power consumption and on never having to replace them. I've replaced about 300 watts of incandescents so far with 75 watts of CFLs, so that's almost a quarter of a kilowatt saved every hour they're on. It'll also be nice not having to run the AC as hard in the summer to compensate for the heat from the lamps.
