CFLs are a good idea and the only thing you can buy where I live. The downside is that their cost is still quite high and my experience is that their life is far less than is toted. Another drawback is "luminance Latency". I'm considering replacing all my downlights with LEDs. I think there is still a lot of scope for LED (semiconductor) technology to be a main light source for domestic use.
