CFL problems
#18
Like all fluorescent bulbs, CFLs aren't designed to be turned on and off repeatedly with short on cycles. That will shorten their life. Also, you need special CFLs if you want to operate them on a dimmer.

A better option, more expensive up front but cheaper in the long run, are LED lights. The problem with them is the brighter ones are still very expensive, but getting cheaper and brighter all the time.
