light bulbs: electricity ctbz: self-esteem

— priorities

  1. priority: enough brightness at each location, so we need no additional
  2. priority: the forgetable lights need to be low wattage, perhaps due to inconvenient location of switch. Eg: peripheral lights when fan lights on!
  3. priority: the most used lamps should be most efficient, not necessarily lowest wattage
  4. LGLp: avoid wasting bulbs? See note below.

— Now the locations, half-ranked by hours of usage each week, based on subjective estimates

  1. above dining table [8w LED]
  2. two fan-lights 5w each
  3. sofa peripheral [8-14]w… used during day time ! easily forgotten. Currently too dim.
    • The piano side: Need similar brightness as the other side, or remove completely.
  4. —-
  5. above kitchen sink [9w LED]. Only during cooking
  6. [m] room2 wall [4-15]. Changed to 5.5w on 30 Sep
  7. [m] cockpit1 [4-8-20]. Go lower with usage !
  8. master room wall light [4->11-20]
  9. [m] fridge-side should be [9-20]w … currently too dim
  10. laundry ceiling
  11. [m] 3rd fan light — less used
  12. [m=mostly used by me, not family family]

— at night, which one light I can keep on?
cockpit1?
— too many bulbs at home? I do have too many bulbs at home. If needed, leave the inefficient bulbs as spares, or give them away if new

Perhaps shelve the energy-inefficient, legacy tubes. They don’t seem to have a place in our current home (or next home)
— Ikea LED bulbs have best prices: about $4/2,
Also the highest efficiency, more than 100 lm/w
