I don't like the compact fluorescents at OSH. They are ok, but
not very bright. My favorite is the Lights of America Q-lite,
available at Target and Home Depot. It's equivalent to a 75
watt, vs the 60 at OSH. Also, I think they are non-radioactive
while the OSH Panasonics do have radioactivity, and the Q-lite
turns on in a more attractive way. The Philips SL*18 is also
nice but only the Home Club sells them and they are by far
the most expensive product with no significant advantage over
the Q-lite.

I have four Q-lites in my bathroom. I used to object to CFs because
they weren't bright enough (you can't get them in a 100 watt
flavor) but I think I have solved that problem now with my 300
watts (equivalent) of light.
