Only idiots would not have a fluorescent in the bathroom.

That really depends upon how much time you spend there. Fluorescent
bulbs are great if you are going to be there for a while or want to
put in a bulb that gives off the equivalent of 150W bulb in the space
a regular light bulb takes. Flourescent bulbs will die an early death
is used in places where they are switched on and off a lot. I don't
see why you would spend so much on a bulb that is going to die out
before you recoup the energy savings.
