Nothing gives nicer light than an old fashioned lightbulb imho. Also keeps the place warm nicely.

Re: One of my light bulbs just blew up.
Thanks GC, I think that may have been the problem. The new CFL I put in my lamp has been working just fine so far. It is a twisty desk lamp and the only changes I made was twisting it so the light points up instead of down. Also, the nights and thus my room have gotten colder (no heat to save money), so that may be helping avert another bulb failure.

if you get anymore problems send me a mail.
Funnily at the min I am working on a project to save energy in a hotel and were putting in LED lighting.

Re: One of my light bulbs just blew up.
I like the room dark or dimmly lit. I have decided to surround myself with lights of various colors, well mostly green and blue save the eternal flicker flame for my deceased cat. A very nice ambiance I must say and keeps my mood quite calm and sedate. I need to buy three green 25-50 watt bulbs for one particular lamp and I think my collection will be complete. I have been debating one of those pedistal lamps a put a colored bulb in that, but I haven't decided yet. Am to make a trip to Lowes today after they gym and nose about a bit.
Hopefully none of my bulbs burn out prematurely though!
