(yeah, i already know i can't spell)

once we get past what style of bulb we are going to use...what about the watt of the bulb?? 45 gets the right tone colour for the room, yet 95 is best for clairity. Maybe a blacklight would be best?

Is there any place to try out light bulbs before I buy one? I've heard of this place called the Light Bulb Exchange but I also heard the owner is a little pushy trying to sell a Russian one.

I cut all my 60 watt bulbs to 40 watts.
