Can you stand one more light bulb post?

If so, then look at this post.  I found it while going back to Instapundit, as I do most nights before bed.  It seems as if there is an in-between option called full spectrum lighting that has a fuller, more natural light compared to the CFL's but also saves about 60% of the energy that a traditional incandescent bulb uses. 

My thought about fluorescent bulbs is the light sometimes gives me a dull headache. Plus, the type of light they produce doesn't work for close up tasks.  This FS lighting evidently addresses both of those problems, at least in the examples this woman uses in her post.

My husband and I talked about the difference in the bulbs around our house tonight and he reminded me that I have a circular CFL in my closet.  I cannot remember when we installed that bulb, but my gut tells me it's at minimum 8 years old.  I certainly haven't changed it since we put it in, and we've been in this house over nine years.  I think I'll trade out every closet bulb we have for a circular CFL.  When next they pop, the cash I'll drop.
