[CS-FSLUG] OT: Converting from Incandescent to Flourescent Lights

[Yama Ploskonka]

what about dimmers?  Many of our current lights at home are run from 
dimmers, and my earlier attempt to use CFLs didn't leave me that happy 
there, even hough nowadays I've converted most other lights, except 
entryways and such that are on heat/proximity automatic switches where I 
want full brightness from the get go.

In that latter sense I am curious about CFLs you mention that light up 
to full brightness instantly - most of my conversion was done 3 years 
ago, and those CFLs are just fine, except they take a while to reach 
full intensity.  I guess that newer technology has solved that - I'll 
have to look see, because during this time I've kept replacing the 
normal bulbs around the house and I'd rather not have to do that so often.
