The yellowish-orange light that incandescent lamps give off is similar
to the color of the light candles emit.


There's no reason that we should stick to that puny sickly color.


CFL lamps can do a good job of emulating daylight.


Regarding energy. When I had incandescent lamps in our high hats I could
warm the room by simply turning the lights on.


This was an indicator of how much extra energy (and money) I needed to
waste during air-conditioning season.


No more. I had these for years. I would never go back.
