I just started buying LED lights to replace the Halogen lights over my desk. They are just as brought (Equivalent to 50 watts), run nice and cool, and use 10% of what the Halogen's use. I love them.

They normally sell for about $39 each but the store near me had them on sale at $19 each so I bought a bunch. Even better, they had a good choice of colours from "cool white" to "warm white" (which has a tinge of yellow in it). I preferred the cool white but went for the warm white anyway. They are great.

Pigtail CF lights are fucking awful. The light is ugly (narrow color spectrum), they buzz, they aren't bright enough, they don't last as long as they should. The lights themselves don't get hot but the transformers inside them sure do and it contains mercury. It's STUPID technology.

LED's compete well with standard light bulbs but CF don't come close.
