If you say so.

Read my post again for comprehension. I wasn't talking specifically about CFL's, I was talking about fluorescents, of which CFL's are a subset.

And they don't flicker. Thank you.

Oh, how could I miss that? Physics changed since 1989!

Let's just say that technology has changed since 1989 ....

[Me] I'm referring to the color in Kelvins, not to temperature in degrees Kelvin. They're different.

Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields. The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that of the light source. Color temperature is conventionally stated in the unit of absolute temperature, the kelvin, having the unit symbol K.

CFLs are junk and always will be. LEDs on the other hand have lived up to their promise.
