Our light bulbs are slowly turning fluorescent
We have four light bulbs at home that are almost always on when we're around, and three of those four bulbs are now fluorescent, which I hope is going to help with the electric bill. Bascially, when a traditional tungsten bulb burns out, I replace it with a fluorescent. No problems so far, except that two of the bulbs take a really long time to warm up (I have no idea why).

So how many of you are taking the plunge? I hear California has outlawed incandescents, so you West Coast types might be doing it out of sheer necessity.

3. California has not outlawed incandescents yet
There is a bill for that in the Assembly though.

We are slowly converting also. It makes a lot of sense to us.
