Is it sensible to use fluorescent light bulbs in homes in colder climates, that use automated heating systems?

Traditional light bulbs are inefficient in producing light and lose energy in the form of heat. Fluorescent light bulbs are more effient and produce less heat as a by-product, but wouldn't all savings in energy efficiency be cancelled out by the need for your heater to work harder?

Discuss.
