We are making the switch to energy efficient flourescent bulbs in our home. As the incandescent bulbs go out we are replacing them with the better flourescent ones. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/137904/energy_efficient_fluorescent_light.html This is a great article on the benefits of using flourescent bulbs.

Hi lillake, thankyou for the response. Nice to hear that you are shifting to the CFL ones in yoru house. Here in India, many people are reluctant to buy the CFLs due to the high initial cost compared to teh incandescet ones..

Yes, shan_ab we are using more CFL lamps now. However we have some more incandescent bulbs to be replaced. They are but the one we rarely use. Even those bulbs also will be replaced by CFL lamps when the bulbs are fused out. Thank you shan_ab.
