YIKES. What is your problem? The compact florescent bulb is available in different color temperatures, we found the one we like and after replacing every single bulb in our home (considerable number as we have recessed fixtures in our kitchen, living room and dining room in addition to many table lamps) the next full month electric bill with those lights cut our power consumption practically in half! The bulbs generate less heat than incandescent bulbs. The new LED bulbs are going to be even better and I have seen they have replacements for long florescent tubes on the way. The energy savings is incredible. Move with the times.
