I agree. For soft lights/ambient lights used with a dimmer, there is nothing yet to substitute the old incandescent.

I did some shopping last night, and for my ambient light I decided to go with an incandescent. The extra energy cost is well worth it to me. Sorry environment.

Just be sure to get the right color `temperature' for your energy saving lights. 5000K looks nicer and warmer than the `hotter' 8000K stuff, that you normally get.
