CFL lighting [where's the light?]
There isn't a light that stays on in our home more than the flood light over the kitchen sink and when it finally blew out yesterday morning, I thought I would do the right thing and buy a CFL bulb to replace it and save energy.
Mistake.
My wife's first thought was that it provided institutional light and gave her a headache. It reminded me of a hospital room with dim light in the background. And neither of us thought that it gave off enough light so we wouldn't be able to save any energy if we needed to have other lights on in the kitchen in order to see.
So I'll go back to Lowe's today and get a nice halogen flood light to replace this ill chosen bulb.
But what am I going to do when it is mandated that you have to use CFL lighting. Should I stock up now like the person in Europe who apparently stockpiled years and years of bulbs.
Does this signal the return of the Dark Ages?
And as Clara Peller, Wendy's famous spokesperson of years gone by might have said, where's the light?
