Course there are those who might say that fluorescent lighting has no
place in the home....

some do, but this is based on widspread poor practice with them. With
good practices they make excellant home lighting.

Except that they are still cold and bilious looking and far from
welcoming.

Depends how theyre installed, which type of tube is used, and what
light level is chosen. People tend to use far too much power, use the
wrong tubes, and use installation types that are bad looking and
provide bad lighting.

At the last place the lighting was excellant, soft warm and pleasant.
It was 3500K fluorescent. The night lighting was 2-3w cool white,
which created a moonlit effect.

There are many things that can go wrong, and unfortunately often do,
due I think to shortage of knowledge of how to make these lights work
well.
