I’ve had very unpredictable results with CFLs. At work we had switched to them completely, but were burning them out at an insane rate (MUCH faster than incandescent). Never figured out why. Perhaps power line conditions? Anyways, it sure didn’t work there.

At home I have a few strategically placed with decent results. Seem to be lasting fine. Not all that good for reading light, but OK if you don’t read under them for too long. For long term reading I move to another room that still has incandescents. Also, found I have to keep the CFLs away from radios/TVs, other RFI sensitive devices. CFLs seem to put out a good deal of EM spectrum pollution compared to other electronics.

I like the reduced energy consumption of CFLs, but it’d be foolish to switch to them completely as they’re not a complete solution. LED lighting looks to be a dramatic improvement, other than the price.

My little ways of going green include using cfl bulbs, turning off the ceiling fan lights with 4 bulbs and use the table lamp with one bulb. For the garden I save my dishwater, and whatever water I accumulate by rinsing, soaking, etc. This is what I use to water my potted plants outside.
