You can't have it both ways. If you argue that the heating effect is so small that it can be ignored, then this argument can be turned around to say that the energy savings associated with using a technology with less waste heat can be ignored.

Very good point here! My mom noticed a difference in our kitchen in that it was much colder when we switched from incandescents to CFL's. I also notice the difference in the winter with the lights on my car being iced over and I would have to clean them every once and a while. So back to incandescents for me!
