I know what I’m going to be buying and hoarding in the coming months.....
I HATE dim lighting!
If I turn on a light, it is because I want to SEE something!
If I want “ambience,” I light candles.
Screw those fluorescent bulbs....er...pun intended.
I got a 3-pack of 26 watt fluorescent swirlies at Wal-mart for $7.50.
They produce 1700 lumens (like a 100w incandescent). They're too bright to look directly at them and the room is lit up like broad daylight.
