The most frustrating news about the CFL’s is the short time that they last. I have had some last as little as 2 months. The longest one lasted about 14 months. They are so expensive to have to keep replacing them, I do not see how we are saving money. The second strong dislike I have about the bulbs are the problem with broken ones and having no place to dispose of all of the bulbs that have stopped working at our home.

There’s a bigger agenda behind all this than I care to speculate about, and I don’t think it’s just about the money (though it would be interesting to see who holds the patent, here and abroad, for those hideous poison-pods). Fascinating stories abound about the things going on by themselves when exposed to certain electromagnetic conditions. (Brings to mind Uncle Fester’s lightbulb trick, only much more goulish!) My advice would be to stockpile incandescent bulbs NOW — I have a feeling they’ll stop being produced long before the 2012 deadline. I’ve always hated fluorescence, and no amount of eco-babble will ever make me change my mind.

I didn’t hear about the ban in Ontario, it’s very disappointing.

This very much reminds me of Ethanol crops and Water fluoridation. Something evil and/or poisonous is being “sold” as good for the humanity and being pushed down our throats, without checking for consequences.

I’ve seen LED lamps that are temperature-balanced, but only in designer shops so far. They’re pretty expensive and not easy to find. With time, that’ll probably improve.

Unfortunately it looks like Ontario (where I am) wants to ban incandescent lighting by 2012 (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2007/04/18/ontario-lightbulb-ban.html).

Maybe the solution is household LED lights? Haven’t really looked into them…. I imagine they’d be quite expensive though.
