I do know that some people seem to have problems with them.

I have a problem with them because I have prescription lens replacements in my eyes. Whenever I go into stores like Meijers which has all the flourescents, it feels like I am looking thru a glaring fog..........

Wow, sorry to hear they bug you. But it’s not just CFLs but long tube fluorescents too. Those get to me after a time because I can hear those humming and unless you have a shade over them so you don’t directly see the bulb, they’re too brutal for use anywhere except the shop or the basement.

ANd don’t get me wrong, I’m not for banning regular bulbs. I think people should be able to buy the bulbs they want. Once they perfect the low voltage diode lights and they get to a price I can afford, I’d consider using them all over the house too. Right now they’re way too expensive for me, but they’ll come down in a few years. But I don’t care what kinds of bulbs people use. We should be able to determine this on our own without big brother govt forcing us to use certain ones.
