Are you using 75W incandescents or "75W equivalent" CFLs? If the latter
I think you'd be OK with the new Philips light as it doesn't play fast
and loose with "wattage equivalents" like everyone else has for years.


Both, depending on location. The new CFLs have a good color
temperature and don't have any lag when turned on. When CFLs became
available, they were horrid sickly green, but no more. The bright
white is quite nice, better than incadescents.

The white is better but they still have that damned lag, particularly
when it's cold (*very* noticeable below 60F - worse as it gets
colder).
