| CFL'S for safety? Falls and light bulbs |
 Put compact fluorescent bulbs into fixtures that are hard to get at, like in a stairway or the attic. Sometimes the hassle of standing on a ladder or chair to replace a hard-to-reach bulb makes the higher cost of the compact bulb worthwhile on this basis alone. Compact fluorescent lamps are most cost effective and efficient in areas where lights are on for long periods of time. You may see a slower payback in areas where the light is turned on and off often, or where they are on for only a few minutes, such as closets and pantries. Because compact fluorescents do not need to be changed often, they are ideal for hard-to-reach or dangerous areas.
