Of course they are sold everywhere but I have a HD near me.

I see these multipacks in red, blue or green packaging and am trying to
figure out which one is good for what purpose.

I have a normal home with all kind of spaces: lobby, stairs, hallway,
various rooms, porch, garage, basement, laundry, etc. I would like to
replace every light I can by an energy-saver and would be grateful for
any guidance about the different types, which is good for what.

I've been using CF bulbs in every application in my house. One thing
I've discovered is that the CF "spotlights" (i.e.: in track lights
over my desk/computer; 4 luminars) seem to burn out VERRRRRRRRY
quickly; as in 14-16 months. Maybe it's the heat retention of the
enclosures, I dunno'.
