Who has CFL's in their home?

[Racer X]

graylocks, for every watt of light output, it takes a watt of A/C to cancel it out. So if he went from 300 watts in his office down to 50, he needs 250 watts less A/C to keep that office cool. Or in my case, that is an extra 250 watts to run some other equipment on that same circuit.

This is why so many office buildings went to flourescent lighting years ago. being able to install HVAC systems that are 1/4 smaller (or whatever) is a HUGE deal.
