DON’T BUY CFLS!
Buy LED bulbs. They cost almost nothing to run, create no heat or environmental hazards and they last for years.
There are all wattages, warm and cold colors and there are even dimmable LED bulbs.
Or just buy 95W incandescent light bulbs...
“DON’T BUY CFLS! Buy LED bulbs.”
With our current options, I cannot imagine life without the incandescent bulb, nor life with the CFL bulb.
Nevertheless, kicking and screaming into the inevitable, a few questions:
Have you found one LED brand to be better than the others?
So that I may benefit from your experimentation, will you recommend a specific brand/model/”color” that you have found most approximates the warmth and “reading” brightness/comfortability of an incandescent bulb to get me started?
