Light Bulbs


In 2007, Popular Mechanics did a comparison test of compact fluorescent light bulbs. They're filled with mercury, so they're not very safe for kids. But other than that, aside from the energy consumption differences between CFLs and incandescent bulbs, CFL bulbs produce a higher-quality light in my opinion. Popular Mechanics seems to agree.
Anyway, in the test, their highest-rated CFL bulb was this one.
I recently purchased a similar bulb- this one- and it is excellent for any room where you are planning to look at a computer screen (or a television i assume). The light is extremely bright and white, which makes looking at a screen much easier on your eyes.
