Lots of green in the lights though on the cheap one's so you have to watch out.

I agree, I have a few of the really cheap ones too and they tend to be a bit greenish but they do make a few that are very close to IC.... I had another deliver today as well. When I get the entire house done I will monitor the bill for the same month. I want to see what the lower level feels like when it is all done with this lighting. When you add it up the energy savings is very impressive...for closets you can beat the bright white bulbs, the 100 watt bulbs put don't even get warm. The ballast gets a little warm but nothing like a 50 watt halogen or even a 40 watt IC
In the master bath we have this stupid fixture that has 4 of these halogen or Xeon bulbs that I swear you could toast bread with. It is like the sun when you turn it on. They only last a few months then they burn out, and they are very costly. I want to rip out the entire fixture and replace it with a high end CFL set up.
Also, I am thinking of replacing some of the outdoor lighting too. I came home the other night and I thought my house was on fire they had so many lights on. I went over to the meter and the dial looked like a blur it was ready to take off thru the glass.
