I've urged you to switch over to
CFLs enough, so I'm not gonna go there. But I will admit that I agree the soft-serve-like shape of CFL bulbs is less than desirable — unless you have an
ice cream cone pendant light to go with. But, what if CFLs looked like the standard bulbs you've come to know and love?

Whether or not you went for my
classy Halloween décor picks, you can still spook the neighbors with the glow of these
orange and black CFLs that I spotted on
TreeHugger. If you still haven't been convinced about the green goodness of CFLs, check out our
reasons to make the switch from incandescent bulbs. Then switch your spook on.

Compact flourescent lightbulbs (CFLs) have gotten a bad rap for years, and granted, they had really poor light quality in the past. But the new generation of CFLs have consistently proven themselves to be great for indoor home lighting—in fact, a recent
study showed that study participants preferred the light quality from the CFL fixtures, and that they registered better across color spectrums as well!
The
n:vision soft white CFL scored particularly high with an overall "A" score on the test.
