Well, it is not such a good thing.
There are still quite a few places where "good old" incandescent lightbulb is much better choice.
- in bathroom - the lightbulb is only used for short periods of time but frequently. Also high humidity shortens the life of the bulb considerably. CFL tends to die loooong before the energy savings can kick in.
- in places where you need full spectrum warm light
- in workshops where machines are used. CFLs are blinking rapidly. An object rotating at high RPM can appear to be rotating much more slowly or even in opposite direction due to stroboscopic effect.
I wonder when they start banning sale of food with high fat content, fried food, food with high sugar content or bread made from "white" (understand non-whole-grain) flour. Oooops. Never mind. ;-)
