- Replace the bulbs with the curly ones (I hate them, but would nearly eliminate the heat).
- Add a good film to your window: the most reflective you can find.
- Mess with the registers and see if you can blow more cold air into the room (lower the flow to others).
- Get a small A/C unit if above doesn’t fix/help.
The LED light bulbs are even more efficient. IIRC from the ones in our house, they use about 1/10 of the wattage of the CFLs and emitt almost no heat.
I hate those curly things too, but guess what? They now make round ones that would work perfectly in recesses lighting. I use them both in my basement and in my mirror over my bathroom sink.
Those curly things were obnoxious!
