Tim,

No, to which I replied:

First, the most expensive part of lighting is energy cost. It would save you ~75% on your electricity cost (more if you know anything about color temperature and visual acuity). Second, compact fluorescents should last almost 10 times as long as incandescent, so the actual up front payment is at least break even, if not cheaper. As an added benefit, CF's produce much less heat. If air conditioning cost is a more expensive than heating, then you have another minor benefit.

Everything was in the context of lighting... you were clever enough to pick out a sentence fragment to find something to argue with.

Jeez,

John
