Do you recommend these without a shade? Wouldn't the light be harsh? I'm renovating my tiny tiny (6'x9') kitchen (no window)in a NYC prewar building and am struggling with lighting decisions. I don't particularly like track lighting but wonder what else will give me the light I need. Any advice?
i love lightbulbs!
nice post.
As of September 1st, it will be illegal for
manufacturers to sell frosted incandescent bulbs to retailers anywhere in
the EU, followed by the banning of all incandescent clear bulbs in September
of 2010. According to a report in the UK's Daily Mail
This is insane and very sad...what to do? The ban is coming soon to the USA as well!
