Me too. Particularly when a lot of it is done under the guise of "saving
the planet", and it's not at all clear that CFLs do that when the bigger

Show me
a manufacturer who will *guarantee* (not pro-rated either) 5000 hours
of trouble-free illumination from a CFL and I'll bite.

that the illumination that it gives is of a reasonable quality rather than
having a sickly color-cast to it.
