Let there be light

The long life bulb in the living room finally blew. The room is a funny one to light, and there always seem to be dim corners, though I am not exactly sure why. So I went for a high wattage bright long life bulb, 25 watts, the equivalent of 150 watts.

Dear heaven that bulb is bright! It is bright, brilliant and brutal. I feel that I could wear sunglasses. Of course every speck of dust and cobweb is mercilessly revealed, but to be honest, you are too dazed and dazzled to take much notice. OH asked when the autopsy began, and it is like the lights that seem to be shone on the departed on programmes like NCIS, or like the special effects when aliens are landing and there is a bright light.

It's great for knitting. It may mean that we use the uplighter more, however.
