I'm not especially fond of compact fluorescents, because they emit a high pitched whine (though not as bad as regular fluorescents), and because I don't like the light. I also don't like the idea that they have mercury in them. What I do like is the idea of LED light bulbs, but I'm waiting for them to come down in price a little bit so I can experiment with them. $80 per bulb seems like a lot to spend on something that may or may not work well, even if it will last 20 years!

LED is a far superior technology - better for the earth in every respect.
