I'm nowhere near as green as I am frugal, and I just won't spend the extra money to save energy if it's going to save me money to spend the extra energy. Make sense?And these new-fangled flourescent light bulbs have just been too expensive for me to get over the cost barrier of them. Four dollars for one light bulb when I can buy 4 light bulbs for $2? Are they ki...

I have this thing about lighting. I don't like high intensity lights so usually our home is pretty dark in appearance, especially during the winter months.  Neither my family or I like to leave lights on in the rooms, especially if we're in one of the family rooms watching TV.  That means our home can be pretty dark inside and in order to overcome the pitfalls that creates (su...

The bulb is cool to the touch, and only uses 0.3 watts. They are mercury free, and com...

I purchased two silver accent lamps and one silver accent table lamp for use in my living room. I'd searched a long time for just the right lamps that would suit my tastes and my home. These lamps have simple yet, sophisticated lines. I should researched the size better since the table lamp really is too large for the current space it occupies. The accent lamps are the size I needed, t...

I was shopping with my daughter at Ikea this weekend. I am redoing my den and needed new lamps. I love everything about Ikea and was sure I would find something I would want. Sure did, they are little more expensive than I wanted to pay but I fell in love with them.I guess you would call these hurricane lamps. They look like they are glass but actually they are a hard plastic. Unless you pick t...

When I saw this desk lamp at Costco, I was skeptical at first about its light that it boasted was equal to the "full spectrum of the sun".  I decided to try it out, so after taking it out of the box and assembling it in about fifteen minutes or so, it sure surprised me. It gave off a bright, but softer glow that was definitely not as yellow as my previous lamp. The design of th...

I ran into Bjs for a couple of things the other day and decided to check out the lighting section to see if they had anything for my kitchen, which is in dire need of some sort of strip light… They did not have what I was looking for, but they did have an interesting pack of bulbs by Feit Electric. These bulbs are called ecobulbs - energy saving compact fluorescents. What is different ab...

I know it's not politically correct these days to admit that I very much prefer incandescent light, to florescent. But quite honestly, I have to admit that I do. There is just a warmth to incandescent lighting that florescent just doesn't have. I absolutely hate the cold, sterile feel of florescent lighting. However, since new legislation has recently passed, it seems that very soon flo...

There is a small round tray around the base post which is primarily ornamental but can ...

Once I was finally all settled into my new apartment and had spent about a week there I realized that I needed a lamp for my living room.  There were no lights provided by the apartment in the living room, however there was a light in the adjacent kitchen, and in the dining room.  Although even if I had one of these lights on, it didn't carry far enough into the room in the event ...

I have this Streamlight M3 Tactical Illuminator light. The light mounts right on the rail of a pistol. I have this light mounted on my Model 23 .40 caliber pistol. This light comes in handy for making entrances into dark buildings or homes that we get called to for possible burglaries or other situations that may be better off leaving the lights out resulting in the bag guy knowing yo...

I purchased the Realistic Wide Angel Strobe Light from Radio Shack over ten years ago.  When I think about it now I am wondering why in the world did I need to buy a strobe light. I guess it was because I was younger and more into clubs.  Anyway, the wide angel strobe light is really cool.  My kids really enjoy playing with it in the garage.  It is also great to use as a Hal...
