Okay, I see it gets considerably brighter with time. However, this
seems like something of an annoyance if I want there to be light
*now*. Sort of like revisting TV's that need warming up or something.

So, the problem is easily solved. Buy incandescents. CFL lights use a lot less electricity and last
years longer than incandescents. The trade off is that you have to wait a minute for the full light
to come on.

I have used a lot of CFLs (of different brands) and have not had any
that take more than a second or two to come on, until recently (these
are flood lights).

If it bothers you that much, get rid of them. Problem solved. That is like saying I want
a Toyota Prius but you cant stand that you cant fit giant boxes when you purchase something from
Home Depot. Simple answer, buy a gas guzzling SUV.
