By Abigail Monot Great kitchen lighting design typically utilises a large amount of lighting (which means more than just installing a few extra ceiling roses). Kitchen lighting needs a variety of types of lighting for different areas and purposes. The absolutely worst way to illuminate a kitchen is using bright fluorescent ceiling strip lights. They're certainly very bright - but also flat, cold and guaranteed to give you a headache into the bargain. Clearly, a major problem with central... Read Full Story
A perceptive mind over at That’s My Congress identified one of the most mindbogglingly idiotic unofficial caucuses in the U.S. Congress: The Dim Bulb Caucus .
The Dim Bulb Caucus is named that because its members are so dim-witted that they are supporting H.R. 5616, the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act.
Are light bulbs going out and having babies now? No, nothing like that.
The so-called Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act would overturn parts of last year’s important environmental law... Read Full Story

Representative Michelle Bachmann’s Dim Bulb Caucus is a perfect example of this problem.
The Dim Bulb Caucus has formed around the effort to pass a particularly dim witted piece of legislation, the Light... Read Full Story
“I don’t like the twisty shape of compact fluorescent bulbs; that’s why I don’t use them.” We’ve come across this excuse as one of the reasons people don’t use CFLs.
GE now has an answer for that. The new GE Energy Smart CFL places a much smaller electronics package inside the neck of the bulb, and puts the familiar twisted fluorescent tubes underneath a cover, so that the entire bulb has the same size and shape as a conventional incandescent bulb.
The new bulbs started to arrive in... Read Full Story
