I've read the rest of the thread and notice the hybrid GE bulb recommended

you. I'm just guessing that it's going to be pretty expensive so, why do
you
need such a quick "warm up"? FWIW I recently bought some 40 watt
equivalent LEDs
at Lowe's that accomplish everything you want, will last longer and give a
nicer
light than the CFL's I have. They were on sale for about $10 but they are
available now (and don't have any mercury in them)
LED's are very directional. They will not be substitutes for incandescent
or CFL's in any but a few specialized and directional situations.
This could definitely become an issue. I need to research this further.
Thanks for this important comment.
