^Yeah CFLs give good white lighting. You may also consider using incandescent if you want to install dimmers.
Kinda off topic, I'm an apprentice electrician and I've worked in a lot of high end custom homes... Anyways one customer wanted LED valance lighting to go around the perimeter of each room. It's basically a roll of little LEDs on a line of 3M tape, which costs $50/foot. Not to mention each line needs to be hooked up to a driver. Expensive!
