Comment Compact isn't equiv to Regular (Score 1) 1106
Compacts aren't equivalent to Regulars for many customers such as myself. The color quality and feel/mood of the light is totally different. Until the manufactures solve this I'll light my rooms with old CRT monitors. Furthermore, they are no better environmentally, they simple trade the energy use issue for heavy metal disposal problems - don't break one around your kids!
If we want to solve the _real_ issue - excessive energy use by lighting - the government should try turning off some excess lights! For example street light that are left on all night would be a good start and help balance the local budgets. The local governments should change zoning rules to not allow excessive exterior lighting left on all the time to save energy (and give us back our night sky at the same time).
