.... then the light started to dim....






it was a bright idea for its time, but after more than a century of lighting up our homes it will soon be lights out for the "Edison" bulb.
they will no longer be producing the incandescent bulb effect 2012! the only bulbs available will be those unforgiving florescent safeway lighting or the LED.
that means, for many of us, the last half of our lives living in unflattering lighting! although retailers will be banned from selling them in north america, homeowners and businesses will be permitted to use them.
i am going to start stashing them soon. i believe there will be quite the blackmarket for such lighting. i can tell you this much ....my home will be forever bathed in the soft hues of "easy white", calm white" , "cool white" and even the occasional "amber" shadow. especially in the bathroom!
