Let's hope. I hate CFLs, after giving them a good solid try for a couple
of years. Can't stand them. (and for CFL likers, good for you, but I really
have tried near every brand and claimed color range on the market).

They're a transition technology, so I think they'll never be ready.
I'm hoping affordable LED replacements for incandescents will become available
before the incandesents disappear.
