My wife and I recently bought an old house that had CFL bulbs in all the ceiling lights. We painted the baby's room a nice sunny yellow and it looked great in the daylight, but at night, under the CFL's the room became the colour of bile. Needless to say, we switched to the good ol' incandescent light bulb, and the room became pleasant again. I'll gladly pay more on my electrical bill to feel comfortable in my home. I'm in Canada too, so any "wasted energy" coming off the bulb as heat is welcomed. In fact, it reduces the number of baby seals that I need to burn to keep warm in the winter.
