I have a
few of these in my place. They look good, dim nicely, and don't put out much heat. No hum or flickers. I like them a lot.
Everything else in my place is incandescent or halogen. Eventually I'd like to get LEDs for all our fixtures.
CF bulbs to me are sorta like the Windows Vista OS. Buggy as all hell when first released, improved somewhat over time but never really "good". Now that LEDs are here and the prices are coming down I'll do to CF bulbs what I did with Vista - skip them completely!
