You're thinking of CFLs. I absolutely hate those. They make everything look horrible, even food. And they take several minutes to get to full brightness. I have one CFL left in my apartment, and it's in a lamp that I rarely use. I should just get rid of it.

All my other bulbs in my apartment are LEDs. In the last several years, they've actually improved the look of LEDs. The light can totally mimic incandescents, and they can even be dimmed/brightened like incandescents. I actually haven't gotten a new light bulb in several years already because these lights last a long time.
