There is an Australian fellow who has done a resonably thoughough analysis of the proposed Australian ban on incandescent bulbs.
It is worth a read, especially the section where he discusses inductive vs capacitive loads and the power factor of CFL's - Its not something I have heard discussed anywhere else but it's probably worth thinking about.
