Seeing the Light

billroperFor a variety of reasons, Julie has not spent much time in her room recently. She has decided, however, that she'd like to start doing so again, which we think is a good idea, so we're encouraging it.
The first thing that happened was that she complained about the awful yellow light that was coming from her ceiling fixture. I took a quick look at it, figured that these were some older Cree LED bulbs with a distinctly yellow spectrum, and headed off to Amazon to order some Cree LED bulbs that are much whiter than the older ones without being the god-awful blue daylight bulbs.
The bulbs arrived today and I took down the shade on the ceiling fixture to discover that the bulbs were actually some very elderly CFLs. I thought that I'd replaced all of those, but apparently not.
After a bit of fiddling and cleaning out the shade, we got the new bulbs in and everything back in place.
It looks *much* less yellow in there now.
We're hoping that Julie is convinced of this, as I would like those old CFLs to go away at my first opportunity. (Which, given the lockdown, will probably be later than I would prefer.)
