If you are not replacing all of your incandescent bulbs with CF bulbs, then some installations may be of more benefit than others. To maximize savings on operating costs, put them in light fixtures which stay on more than others.

Put one in a fixture that's hard to reach; that way you won't have to change it as often.

Do you have a fixture that has a maximum wattage rating of 60 watts (like many of the 'builder-grade' fixtures in my house)? Replace the 60 watt incandescent bulbs with 23w CF (100 watt 'light-equivalent') and you'll get more light into the room.
