The ban does not kick in until 2012,


We have many recessed floods on dimmers.
Dimmable CFL's are WAY too expensive right now.
I sure hope that changes before anyt kind of ban on them.

And I hope something improves with the "warmup" time.
I now have all CFL floods in my kitchen. When I'm ready to make
dinner, I have to pre-heat the lights and the oven at the same time.



Mitch, the CFL floods I have in my kitchen take 5-7 seconds to reach full
brightness.
