All depends on the quality of the CFLs you're getting. I have Mirabella CFLs in the kitchen, due to an odd lighting fixture that only takes very narrow globes. They take forever to get up to full brightness, so I hate turning them off. I have E-Star CFLs everywhere else, and they're bright from the moment they're switched on. They're available in a range of colour temperatures, too. Go to a proper lighting store, and get them to explain the choices and demo a few for you.
