I put CFLs everywhere I can, except the dimmer fixtures. n:vision soft white from Home Depot.

The light color/quality is fine for me. Our walls are painted vivid and warm colors (ochre, red, brown, etc) which makes a difference to the color. Can live with the brief warm up period. Hear slight buzzing only when put a non-dimmable CFL in a dimmer circuit. Like saving the energy, also like not having to replace burned-out light bulbs so often.

Looking for affordable dimmable CFLs, to finish replacing the rest of the light bulbs.

We have a lot of lights (e.g. dining room ceiling has 8) and using 100w incandescents we burn a lot of juice (dining room 800 watts).

Next step is some full-spectrum lights, as experiment during the long PacNW winter.
