I mostly have CFLs now throughout the house. The little 9W (approx = 30W incand's) lamps are great in my range hood and in the fridge. I got some Westinghouse units in reflector flood bases/housings, and nearly all of them have failed within 2 years of intermittant use -- just not good at all. The ones I've gotten from Costco and Home Despot have generally been good -- if they last longer than a week, they will go the distance.
Color temp is iffier -- my earliest CFLs were notably green. The latest ones have been evenly white and are good to read by.
