Subject: RE: BS: Unpleasant new coil lighting!
I'm beginning to feel wistful about the old days when people lived bu candles and torchlight! ;-) I once lived for the better part of a year in a camp where there was no electricity. The result of that was...getting up at the crack of dawn...cooking with fires...pumping water with a hand pump...and making one's own entertainment by getting together with instruments and all singing. Man, it was great. Also, one tended to spend a lot of time outdoors, do a lot of outside work, and go to bed not too long after sunset. There were evening gatherings around campfires, but people didn't tend to stay up too late generally speaking. I found that way of life to be very healthful and I was happier for the most part than I am among all the modern conveniences....mind you, I was also younger and more flexible than I am now. It's easier to take a lack of physical conveniences when you're young.

I had a look at these particular fluorescents. They don't say that they are either "cool" or "warm" or anything else, but I'm betting that they are the "cool blue" ones. I'll have to find some place like a storage room for using these ones.
