I switched to the compacts in a few places about 5 years ago when imports
became available at decent prices. I use them in places where I havent been
able to train my wife or remaining at home son to turn the incadescents off.
I have 6 in total and no failures yet. If my electric bill went down I cant
tell but at least Im not replacing 75-100W incadescents every time I turn
around. In that respect Ive saved money.
