to Kiwi, I have used compact flourescents all over my new house but have installed them in oyster fittings so the glass of the fitting acts like a filter. I cant tell the difference except at bill time, I will admit that not all the flourescent lights are the same with the coulors ranging from a welding flash, (cheap chinese one i tryed) to a soft warm light from a nelson globe that is the same size and shape as an incandescent. I am currently using Mirabella lights that come from woolies. They are cheaper than the philips at the wholesaler and have a nicer light.
