Using the new light bulbs costs more and paying someone locally to do the job costs more, so the cheaper choice wins.

Actually, I was given my first first CFL free, it beamed for more than 9 years (tho' the first 2 years it was in an apartment hallway, so only on for short times). When checking out the pricing of the bulbs now, I found it is much cheaper to replace all possible bulbs with the new ones. I save money on my Electric bill, I pay less over time and, gosh, it's somewhat better for the planet.... how can you go wrong?
ps- besides, if you check out the websites, you'll almost always find coupons for $1. or more off the CFL bulbs... allowing you to save even more
