You want to get modern LED bulbs. 1/10 power of tungsten (as opposed to about 1/4 for CFL) Really long life. Instant switch on. No degradation from power cycling. The only downside is they need to be a little creative to diffuse the light. > but it gave out a horrible blueish light, I got rid > of that after ten minutes. That might be daylight. My whole house is lit by daylight bulbs. Much nicer (when not mixed with tungsten temp lamps, of course.) -- Jess Iyonix
