Biggest Challenge today? New bulbs=new look, new affect Fluorescent: Fuzzy but really bright, high lumen output, give off lots of light. Incandescent: Our comfort zone of light, what we think light “should” look like. Halogen: Very clear, direct, give rooms a more true color. Tends to look warm and appealing. LED: The new normal.
