Frankly, not nice. Roll on LED technology. No warm up time, much longer

the colour temperature much more easily than CFL technology.

You're joking, I presume? Or been reading the adverts?

The first applications of new lighting technology tends to be film and TV
where costs don't matter much, but small size, efficiency etc might well
do for specialist situations. And LED are still virtually nowhere as key
lights due to poor colour temperature and spectrum. Whereas fluorescent
(dimmable) have been used for some time. They are used as FX background
lighting, though.
