(User Info)

I'd guess 99% of lights can be switched over without any significant changes.  There are however some specialized areas where the old bulbs are necessary/superior.  I have a ceiling fan with a dimmer for the built in light that doesn't work with CF.  I hear that there are dimmable CF bulbs but I've never seen one in a store (and I do check regularly)  I also use older bulbs for space heating/light when I start my seedlings. I hear these bulbs will also go a long way towards keeping chickens happy in winter when I get some.

It's just sad that people have to have the laws changed to make them do the right thing.  In the vast majority of places CF bulbs have been economically the right choice for at least the last 3 years.
