Any experience with these?

Our new kitchen will have 6 recessed cans that normally accomodate standard
incandescent floodlight bulbs. For the sake of electrical consumption and
heat output, I'd like to use CF floodlight bulbs, but have not used them
before.

Other advantages? Disadvantages?

TIA


I have them in my kitchen. The heat output is noticeably lower than the
incandescents. Electrical consumption is rather substantially lower as
well, but we're not talking about a huge savings here. Maybe a couple of
bucks a year. If you decide to use these you will want to experiment
with different brands as the quality of light is rather variable. I have
settled on the GE as offering the color temperature that suits my taste
best, but your mileage may vary.
