Chelsee.Marcuz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have purchased the correct bulbs for my editing room, however the light switch in this room has a dimmer and Lowes said that the bulbs I needed weren't available in a dimmer, so I purchased the regular and they burn out fast. My question is this: is it best to have the correct bulbs in the overhead light? Or could I get away with having a floor lamp with the correct lighting in them? Thanks in advance!

Damien Symonds Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm very distrustful of lamps. Their light is so directional, they can never provide the nice even lighting your room needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, D -- does this also apply to the halogen-style floor lamps, that point the light up at the ceiling and light up the room via ceiling bounce?

Damien Symonds Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well, that would definitely depend on the paint colour of the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Of course -- so with white ceilings, and reasonable placement of an up-casting floor lamp, would that be analogous enough to good bulbs in a ceiling fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I guess so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsee.Marcuz Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thank you. I will continue to purchase bulbs. Wish it wasnt on a dimmer, it flickers sometimes and I have to barely move the knob to get it to stop. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
