Did you know CFLs power consumption is more then stated?  A 22 watt lamp 
they say is the same as a 100 watt incandescent lamp only tells you what the 
glowing part of the bulb draws.  They don't tell you what the electronics 
draw.  The total power consumption used by a "22 watt draw bulb"  is really 
around 47 or 48 watts.
