I bought some daylight bulbs for the living room because Son No1 and 2 could not paint their warhammer models in the light from the bulbs I had They are brilliant, it's dark outside, but it feels so light and bright indoors. I know they are supposed to help with SAD, not something I thought I suffered from, but I definitely feel more alive. We can just use the lamps if we want a more subdued light.
I got the ones with a replaceable glass part, so besides being energy saving, I only need to buy half a bulb for the next 3 times (although as they are supposed to run for 10 000 hours, I'm not sure that is such a major concern). I realised I'd ordered the wrong type though, ES rather than BN, so I emailed the company. I had a reply, timestamped 11.30pm , from the owner, saying he'd make sure they sent the right ones, and they did, the next day. Good customer service (CheapEnergySavingLightBulbs.co.uk).
I've also put one in a lamp near the chilli seedlings, hopefully it will help suppliment the natural light at this time of year.
