Has anyone used anything like these throughout their home?

I'm seriously contemplating using these as a direct replacement for 50w halogen lights.

Really is hard to get a good answer on the start-up time. I've read and been told anywhere from 30secs to 2mins. Thought about doing a mix. 240v halogens in the Kitchen and Toilet and CFL everywhere else. But then the light colour won't match up and might look odd in the Kitchen/Meals area with 2 different types. I can live with 30 seconds but definitely not 2mins. I think the best bet for me is to just do the halogens everywhere and do more switches so I can turn them on in pairs instead of a whole room at once. Then if the CFL globes improve over time, replace them. |
