This is a pretty sweet review of CFLs i found and this is in regard to lighting your home, not growing obviously. It just addresses the massive misunderstand or hype of CFLS. Everybody reads they save you $ so they dont actually think about it. CFLs are just a huge marketing scheme to make people think they are saving money, but if your in the USA, they are actually way more expensive because our tax dollars were used to push them on people, and make them cheaper at the store.. billions in tax dollars that is. Basically what i got from it is, always use incandescent if you turn lights off all the time anyways in your home, only use CFLS for places where the light bulbs are going to be on for endless hours. CFLS burn out 10x faster if your always turning them on and off, much like i do in my house just because i never leave lights on that arnt being used.. i see it as a waste of energy. Anyways i though somebody might appreciate actually learning something so thats why i shared it with RIU ; )
