Ben, I don't know if you saw my earlier post where I mentioned I use full spectrum lighting. Have you looked into it? It's very efficient lighting, and would be a much better alternative to incandescent bulbs, or even CFL's for that matter because from an interior design perspective, the light output mimics the sun and really brings out the colours of a room.

Even though you'll have them dimmed the majority of the time, they'll still give more "life" to your HT.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
