Yeah. I bought a couple of the "daylight" ones for particular task lights, just for the more natural light quality, but don't see enough of a cost savings over the current CFLs to replace all of them. And unlike some people, I don't see the CFLs burning out regularly. I think I've lost one or two over the years, and I have a couple that date back to maybe the mid-90s, before the twisty shape became standard. One (my bedroom reading lamp) gets used just about every night, too.
