I use florescent bulbs as much as I can. All lights in my house is
daylight spectrum kind except in sun room where plant growing lights
are used.

There are a couple problems of using florescent bulbs in a bathroom:

- We spend very few hours in the bathroom, and florescent bulbs
are more expensive than regular light bulbs. We will not
recover the additional cost of using florescent bulbs for a
very long time.

- I have an impression that a florescent bulb will take longer
time to light up than a regular light bulb. When we enter a
dark bathroom, we want the light to come on right away because
we expect to get in and get out from the bathroom quickly.
The additional seconds delay of florescent bulbs will be hard
to bear when we only intend to stay in the bathroom for half
a minute.

- I have already had regular light bulbs in the bathroom. If I
used florescent bulbs, I would need to phase them in. This
means I would see a mix of two different size and shape of
light bulbs in the same lighting fixtures for two years.
I would not like this.

Of course, if I were off-grid, I would definitely use florescent bulbs
everywhere.
