We do use a number of the spiral CFL bulbs, where possible. BUT!. . .

At our house we have a chandelier, with many "flame-shaped" clear bulbs. I don't know the wattage, but low. How are the authorities contemplating that we handle that? Throw out the beautiful chandelier?

We also have some high-intensity reading/floor lamps, which I think use filament/incandescent lamps. Are we to throw those fixtures away?

Throughout the house we have built-in enclosed ceiling fixtures. The CFL lamps I've seen come with the injunction not to use them in enclosed fixtures.

Christmas-tree strings also are designed for incandescent bulbs. Again, throw them away?
