I've turned green

My kitchen light fixtures use 6 60-watt bulbs, which burn out periodically. A local sale on Dura-Bright screw-in fluorescents with guaranteed lifespans of 9 years prompted me to try a couple. They came on instantly and the color rendition was just like incandescents, so I bought 12 more of them.
Now my kitchen lights use 84 watts instead of 360. I even replaced the light in my exhaust hood. Now when electricity rates go up this winter in NM, I'll still be paying the same or more. You can't win.
