Thats cool. I like lower wattage daylight balanced bulbs myself. Most of the surfaces in my bedroom are tan or dark brown, so with the daylight balanced bulbs bouncing off all the warmer surfaces, it makes for a very neutral feeling. (personally i find daylight bulbs to be just a bit too blue for me)

my main reading light though is one of those halogen lamps from Ikea. like this but silver: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20128795

this thread is comedy gold.

troll or not, i approve this thread.

anyone know if reading by candlelight will damage my eyes?

shiit that is such a good idea! im going to by candles next time im at the store now.

It definitely strains my eyes when I do, but I don't think it's bad for you necessarily.

inb4, not hipster. where I live, we have hurricanes that knock out the power. This happens about once a year.

also, I read with a really shitty bulb that's supposed to be bad for the environment, but it gives off a nice warm golden glow. makes me feel cozy :]

>>1360531
yeah i would too but I saw this thing about poor people who read by candlelight all the time and they nearly blind now.

Fuck me.. This is the most interesting thread on /lit/ right now and it's about light bulbs

I'm afraid you're all dead...

whats wrong with a thread about lighting? its interesting to me - at least as interesting as another ebooks vs bookbooks thread.

any interesting stories re: particularly long-lasting bulbs?

away from my usual machine at the moment or I'd definitely have a few beauties to show you.

>any interesting stories re: particularly long-lasting bulbs?

i particularly enjoy bare daylight single fluorescent strips. u know, gallery lighting

I have a Kindle. Im not some faggot that still reads books. So all light sources have become obsolete.

idk, but i was in a building built in the 70's that had these REALLY large diameter flourescent bulbs - like 3 - 4 inch diam. - and they were still working after like 30+ years of use. mind u, they weren't puttin off a ton of light, but SOME light was being emitted.
