When replacing lighting, keep in mind the quality of the light. You want you lighting to be warm and comfortable. Flourescents traditionally have a cold, clinical feel to them and not something I find condusive to making a warm, comfortable environment. But, I'm REALLY sensitive to lighting and illumination.

I hear you. I was a little leery when I first heard of them, me of the popping tube in childhood kitchen experience. These don't seem as blue white as the old tubes.

Plus, every little bit I can wring out of my KW hours gets me just that much closer to going solar!

I really hate the overhead flourescent tubes commonly found in kitchens. Drive me nuts. But the compact flourescents that are designed to replace regular incandescents have a MUCH better quality of light than those tubes.

Yes, the newer flourescents are emit a much more palatable and comfortable light. Just be careful when planning and choose the newer bulbs with warmer light.

Why do I feel like I'm on HGTV?

I could launch into a whole lame-assed boring discussion on color temperatures as measured in degrees Kelvin. But I won't.

Cuz it's really freakin' boring.

Did I mention I know what metamerism is? Actually took an entire (university) course on color.

Yawn

Why do I have a granite cube with an inspirational saying engraved on it, and why has it sat on my desk for years?

Does it need to be 'repurposed"?

(What's the saying?)

It might be too embarrasing for that - though I suppose I could mail it anonymously to someone in need of some inspiration...

Hmmmm now that I think about it - it could be used as some sort of note-delivery-system...
