The area that I work in is the dining room. during the day, I get a lot of light in through the patio (although it still kinda needs to be suplimented with the ceiling fan). At night, it's kinda dark in this area. I have a ceiling fan above the dining room table (which is behind me, which is the light source also for my desk), which has 4 bulbs (well, 3 at this moment, the glass part "unscrewed" from the metal part on one...LOL!).
I have those ceiling fan bulbs in it. I think they are 40 watts each. You are supposed to use those, because the filaments are stronger.
Can I use those new bulbs? The ones that are "energy efficient", that look loopy? And will they show whiter? I think these cast a "yellowish" light.
And I would like a touch more than 40 watts...it's kinda dull at night, beading at this table. I sometimes turn on the kitchen light.
Now, if only I had the ceiling fan that is in Ken's room...it has a switch, so the first pull turns on two, the next pull turn off those, and on the other two, the next pull turn on all 4, and then the next pull turns them off. Would be good for dimmer light for dinner, bright for working. Neither him nor I could really do the work on a dimmer switch...
Thanks for info!
