CFL Alternative
CFLs do have their drawbacks. Their long life is affected by the number of on-off cycles. I have only one light that stays on for any length of time. The rest of the lights go on and off as I enter and leave rooms; which is frequent. I find that under those conditions the life of CFLs are reduced considerably.
I think, for the long term, LEDs will be the solution. While they are still an expensive alternative, they do have a much longer life (upwards of 100,000 hours), turn on instantly and are even more efficient than CFLs. The fact that they have made their way into our TVs indicates that the price is coming down and that there is good color control.
