Re: Beautiful day

The one I got was supposed to look like a nice floor lamp- and sort of 
did- but the downward-facing bulb was just too bright- and I know it is 
supposed to show natural color- but it just looked kind of odd to me.  
Maybe I'm too used to the yellowish hue of incadecen bulbs.  Also, I 
found out that the replacement bulbs are like $20 each.  So back it goes=
