We have 9 high hats in a long hall upstairs that was always being left on.
75 Watts each x 9 bulbs you do the math.  I switched them all over to CF's
EXCEPT the one over the staircase.  It's nearly perfect, as the CF's reach
50% bright within 5 seconds.

I also have a CF spotlight in my old craftsman drop light.  It's very
vulnerable to being broken if dropped, but it's really bright and only warm
to the touch.
