If you are anything like me, perhaps you have not switched to using CFL light bulbs because of their not so aesthetically pleasing appearance. It seems silly given the amount money you can save on your energy bills, let alone that you are actually saving energy and thus doing your part to improve our environment.

Well, fear no more. On a random shopping trip I discovered they make CFL bulbs with the traditional bulb coverings we are so used to. Inside this traditional shell casing is the spiral CFL bulb. These amazing little treasures come in everything from the regular old lamp bulb to floodlights and other various shapes of specialty bulbs. Maybe I am easily amused but I was just amazed by this innovation.

Needless to say, all the bulbs in my home are now equipped with CFLs and you would never know it since they are disguised by this clever casing. So for those of you out there afraid of a little change.. you can now have the traditional bulb look and still know you are doing your part while forgoing any aesthetical pet peeves.
