I originally tried putting these bulbs all through my house. Not because I'm green, but because I wanted to save money on my electric bill.
My wife initially thought they looked ugly. Especially in fancier light fixtures. But I guess she got used to them.
However, they do not work everywhere. They don't work well with dimmer switches. And the dimmer switch will kill them quickly. Also they will work in cold places like the garage, but they will die quickly there too.
So I still have regular light bulbs in one fixture on a dimmer switch, the garage lights and the outside lights. Unless they make better CFLs, I guess we might have to start hoarding old bulbs for the places that you cannot use the CFLs.
