Lighting Types: Fluorescent

With the move to be more energy efficient, compact fluorescents are an easy replacement for incandescent bulbs.  Typically associated with stark institution settings, these little bulbs have come a long way since grade school days.  "The new CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) are definitely not the tubes you remember.  

Here's what you can now find with this bulb type:
*High energy efficiency
*Continuously improving light colors and ranges as well as dimmability
*Long life
*Ability to be used in traditional incandescent fixtures.

Watch out for:
*Inexpensive CFLs. You'll get what you pay for: a funky light quality and shorter lifespan
*Recessed fixtures. Most CFLs don't work well with these: go for halogen or LED instead."
