I hate flourescent light. I’ll shift to candelabras maybe for my morning reading. Would be kind of classy. How’s that for the environment?

I think that when all the information is in, the media and scientists will come to the overwhelming conclusion that while the new bulbs are needed to save the planet without delay, everyone will have to smoke medicinal weed to endure them.

I was just considering where my candles are, and how I’ll set ‘em up in my study.
Humans were designed (creation or evolution) to operate during the day and sleep at night - not keep going ad nauseum thanks to bright lights 24/7. Use candles to extend twilight a bit perhaps, but enough with simulated daylight past midnight.

I like it, and it’s better for the environment too: organically simple wax-and-wick instead of unnatural glass-and-mercury.

Gee, GregF, I could have written your post. I bloody well hate flourescent lights and always have. Even as a kid, I had to leave supermarkets and other stores lit with flourescents very quickly as the “vibes” were very irritating to body, mind and spirit. Candelabra for sure.

Just who are the idiots mandating this stupid unhealthy change? Anyone we can vote out?

I work in a vaulted area...strictly fluorescent light...and we hate it so much...we turn off the overhead lighting, and run lamps on our desk, with the computer screen providing the rest of the light necessary....”silent running” as we joke about it. You feel better at the end of the day and less headaches.
