I had the opposite. Started about 8 years ago and replaced mostly the whole
house with CFLs. Only had 3-4 that are not still running (including lights
in all ceiling fans) and average electric bill dropped about $5/mo that
first year when I checked. Did not replace outdoor nor 3-way lamps. Dan

Do far my experience with CFL's has been very poor. I mark the date in
service on each one as I install it. 6 months is the longest one has lasted
with a couple a little as 2 weeks. Overall, I would rate them as more
expensive than incandescent bulbs. Reduced power consumption does not
offset the initial price. I am going to have to replace two more 100W
equivalent ones this morning.
