But I like the fact that light bulbs give off heat! I have a cat who settles directly under my side-table lamp for that reason.
signed,
all your heat are belong to me
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The light seems pretty decent to me though it depends on how new the bulbs are. The new ones are a lot better, then problem is that they last so long that we still have 4-5 year old ones that do have the sucky light.
I feel like an ungrateful environmentalist because these are all purchased this year. But thankfully most of the bulbs are with fixtures that will remain when I move, so maybe I can try again with these supposed warmer bulbs.

The light I have attached to my stereoscope is ridiculously warm and I keep burning myself on it, because I are smrt. I should get a cat in my office to absorb the heat.

Devi would be disgruntled if I put a CFL in the desklamp. She wouldn't be able to sit with her head up in the lampshade, warming her ears.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In "I'm an attorney, not a grammarian!" news:
"Roger Clemens adamantly, vehemently, and whatever other adjectives can be used, denies that he has ever used steroids or ... improper substances," Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin said Thursday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If LED lighting ever becomes cheap enough, it would (theoretically) be possible to have separate red, green, and blue elements, so you could adjust the color temperature.

If anyone has the full quote without the ellipses, it's even better, IIRC. (AFAIK Hardin is a pretty fancy lawyer, though.)

hip deep in pie
I just liked the light of the halogen better. And the dimmability. But then the halogen's rheostat died and I discovered that they no longer sell those inexpensive halogen torchiers everywhere.
Man, I bought some "dimmable" CFLs for a lamp with a dimmer switch and they buzzed like a hive of bees. They got taken out immediately.

Huh, so. I got a raise and a bonus, and an opportunity to increase my pay with special projects next year. I wasn't expecting that.

So not killing people has its advantages then?
