Only real disadvantage is that you can not use them with a dimmer
switch.

Actually, some that I've read about can be used with a dimmer, but I don't
know how well they work. They are also considerably more expensive. I
don't think I'll need them to operate on a dimmer, however, since in
addition to the 6 floodlights, I also have a central decorative suspended
fixture which will be on a dimmer. That will probably suffice for lower
level lighting.

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?
