OK, with the upcoming demise of the incandescent light bulb I'm going to have to do something. Or else go back to kerosene lamps.
I have tried various CFLs. The light quality is yellowish, not as bright as incand, are not 'on' when you switch them on, the whole mercury and disposal issue, etc etc.
Can LEDs be used in regular old reading lamps? What kind of an expected life do they have? Are they a viable alternative to CFL?
Or do I need to turn my craft room into a 12X12 storage space for hoarded incandescent bulbs of varying wattages?
