Compact fluorescent bulbs
I'm about to go nuts with these things. Which ones give the yellowish light that regular filament non-frosted bulbs give? Is it natural, daylight, soft white, cool white, 4400K or 6500K?

Soft white is probably the closest match for incandescent. The higher the Kelvin the whiter the light, so you're looking for something in the 2500-2700k range.

The only thing is that you might want to start getting natural light ones then the light will be more like daylight than incandescent. Supposed to be better for you during the winter months when there is less sun.

I don't like them. They give a blueish hospital hue.
