I've nev...Yeah, I know what you're saying. I've never had incandescent bulbs in this house. It was the first time I'd tried the fluorescent bulbs and WOW I can see again. I liked my house before and now I Love it. So much brightness - its awesome! Maybe I can blame a fraction of my tiredness on being in the dismal light?<br />:^)Back40https://www.blogger.com/profile/02858059680211668587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760036508533613116.post-89544992482307401712012-04-23T19:54:49.483-05:002012-04-23T19:54:49.483-05:00Haven't I told you about bamboo before?!? Tho...Haven't I told you about bamboo before?!? Thought I'd given everyone that lecture. Rayon is made from wood pulp as is bamboo fabric. The ONLY green thing about Bamboo is that it grows fast and multiplies pretty quickly. So not worth the damage done by the processes used to make it usable in other ways. Bamboo flooring, I bet you'll find a similar story. <br /><br />Compact fluorescent bulbs - I hate, Hate, HATE them!! The quality of light they output is horrible. And for the idiots who try to sell me that a 40W CF is equal to a 100W incandescent (or whatever the equivalent is) I say PHOOEY!! I make my living with my eyes and I know light and color and CF's are unbearable. Ick, Yuck, Bleck, UGH! <br /><br />Just in case you couldn't tell, no one has ever accused me of being opinionated! :) <br /><br />Incandescent bulbs, so much better for your eyes & how are you going to account or paint silk or create in any other way without good eyes??Silks With Attitude! -- Ann Taeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970757834140657801noreply@blogger.com
