rant

I really, *really* don't understand this recent obsession with LV
halogens; specifically with using dozens of them to light a room.

When I was growing up, each room had a 60W/100W bulb, and maybe a
reading lamp/desk lamp as well. That was plenty.

Why anyone would need or want 750W to light their kitchen is beyond me.
I totally do not understand it.

Our kitchen makes use of 3x 21W CFs, and we find this more than enough.
Regardless of cost, to use 750W to light one room is *obscene*.

After looking at the numbers I must admit that I am also starting to agree
with you...
