Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I had to go to CFLs immediately because of the amount of heat the incandescents gave off.

That is not an uncommon cause of fires, if the builder didn't install the recessed lights correctly. (Also, they're frequently installed without the right sealing and insulation, so they're a common source of air leakage. Bad idea all the way around.)

There was a fair amount of variation in quality in the early years of CFLs. The current bulbs are better in a lot of ways.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What's the preferred light then?

Candles. Dim light hides a myriad of sins.

People seem to like the way they look in incandescent lights better, and the warm white is closer to that. I had daylight CFLs in my office and I had to change them to warm white. Everything was a little too clear.

SailAweigh! How did the GF pumpkin bread turn out? My taste buds want to live vicariously.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like the LED candles. They flicker like real candles, they don't set things on fire, the batteries last a long time, and the candles last forever.

The next time one of my interior floods has to be replaced, I promise to try out one of the new CFLs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'll be buying LED bulbs from now on, no more CFL.

Our wings are not tired.

What's the preferred light then?

For some unknown reason my eyes are 3x as green under the CFLs so I am all for 'em. Oh yeah, the whole planet thing is important too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I prefer sunlight (sunset or sunrise) lighting, but I can't be sure. Candle light makes me feel like I'm going blind.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

At one point I had "natural spectrum" bulbs all over the house and I loved it, so much nicer to my eyes. When I switched to CFL everything looked wrong for quite a while. I'll have to look for the daylight CFLs for when the current batch needs replacing.
