From: "Mark" 

I have a CFL bulb in my desk lamp that's on all the time, and my under
cabinet lights in the kitchen are fluorescent strips. But I tried the CFL
in the range hood and it made the food look unappetizing and hard to cook
by sight. Besides that light is only on an hour or so a day anyway. The
bathroom vanity has 5 60w globe bulbs, but again it's only on tops 1 hour a
day.
