the CFL bulbs though give off typically a greenish cast to the lights though, strobe, and still burn out after some time.
I say we skip CFL's and move directly to LEDs. LEDs give off a more neutral white color, and/or can be adjusted with multiple LEDs to make any color you could want. they're a constant light that doesn't strobe, which is easier on the eyes, have even lower yet power consumption and heat than CFL's, AND they last freaking 10 or more years.
CFL's have nothing on LEDs. umm except price.
