Thank you.

Wow, what a response!
I read every reply, even the ones that drifted away from the original
question and am much the wiser for it.

I will replace most if not all of cfcs but not all at once. I will wait
for them to expire, which won't take too long in my own experience.
Thank you all for some very interesting reading, you have been a great help.

One further thing, when I first started using (over 20 years ago) cfls,
not cfcs..(edit) I was told never to switch one off before at least 20
minutes had elapsed to allow for something called "cathode regeneration"
or the bulb life would be seriously shortened. Is this still true?

Thanks again
