Just a small data point to throw into the ongoing

One of the oft-heard complaints about them is that they take a long time

Personally I like the lower start up brightness. In the
middle of the night when I turn the light on, it is nice not to be
blinded.

I do mix lamp types, 50% CFL and 50% tungsten. The color mix
is very good.
