Get an LED lamp and stop using the CFL ****. Instant on, 50,000 hour
life, bright, any tone of white you want, virtually no heat produced,
virtually no electricity used.

In my house. I bought a load direct from the manufacturer in Hong Kong. £5 each including postage. They're brighter than the 50W halogen spots I replaced them with, I'd estimate about 75W. They consume 6.5W (I measured it).
