Will I let one of those compact flourescent lightbulbs into my house? NO! But, please.
Most bulbs here (except the decorative incandescents) have been replaced with CFLs. The newest are in areas where the color is more important (living room lamps, etc.) the oldest where it isn’t (garage, etc.). Shaded from direct view, we find them perfectly fine.
