[QUOTE="ediwiz, post: 47052, member: 123"] We have replaced all of our bulbs (inside and out) with CFL's. They come in different shades, my daughter likes the "daylight" ones for the light outside her bedroom. We even use Florencent outdoor spotlights. They save us a ton, easy child needs a "night light" so the one mentioned above stays on all night. They are only useful if you plan to have the light on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Anything less than that you may as well use a standard bulb. I don't hear any buzzing with mine, but not sure, too much general chaos in the house. I have one socket that eats bulbs. I use to go through 1 a month, now with CFL's it will last a year at a time. Here is the government site, not that wikipedia isn't generally good, but it is written by the general public (most schools won't allow you to use them as a source). The government has their own slant, but at least they can be held accountable for the information....
