but I am too busy falling down the stairs because I keep forgetting to turn on my CF lights a half hour before I need them so they can warm up.
Um... I've been using CFLs since they were introduced. The only time they take longer than a second or two to light up has been the one and only time that one finally died on me and I had to replace it (at which point, yes, it literally did take like 15 minutes to hit full lumens).
Do people honestly have that much trouble with these? I don't even habitually turn on lights unless I need them, so it's not as though I flip the switch in a room and then wander off elsewhere for half an hour.
Am I just not old enough that my eyes have started to fail and I blame it on the bulb instead of my retinae?
