GatorB, there are several issues involved with replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs. I'm already seeing one - my fittings are obviously not ventilated sufficiently as the CFLs slowly cook. I pulled out one that started buzzing yesterday, and the top of the case is browned and it smells burnt.
At the moment my CFLs are probably only lasting 1.5 - 2 times that of a typical incandescent lamp (which is a tenth of the price). It's not really saving anything.
