When CFL's started gaining popularity, my electric coop sent everyone a
free box of assorted CFLs. This time around they're only sending 2 free
LEDs and a low flow shower head, so I'll be able to try them.

The only thing I've noticed about CFLs is they are slow to start in the
winter but I've gotten used to turning a light on and having a pause
before there's any light.

I've also noticed the CFL come on slowly in winter. One
time I needed light, and it was cold. I had a fluorescent
battery lantern (which did not light) and a LED lantern
which worked fine. So, maybe the LED will provide better
cold weather light.



Hybrid halogen CFL lamps have been around for a while and come on instantly. They are what I'd put outdoors or in a walk in cooler. ^_^
