Switch to Fluorescent

I recently completed the switch to all-fluorescent light bulbs. They use significantly less electricity and each bulb saves you something like $20 over its lifetime. The only problem is that they are relatively expensive when compared to cheap incandescents. So I compromised: rather than plunking down $70 on light bulbs, I've been buying one or two at a time over a year's time. My electricity costs have been gradually falling and I didn't have to devote a significant amount of cash toward bulbs.

As a side benefit, I have only changed one bulb in the last six months! Since they last a lot longer than traditional bulbs, I hope to be able to go a year at a time without having to futz with swapping bulbs from now on.
