light bulb question???
 

im hoping someone knowledgeable can help us out in this department.

ok so a longtime ago i read some collectors discussing different kind of light bulbs and their effects on damaging collectibles.

i remember some people were saying that the new florescent light bulbs (the energy savers) were the worst kind to have. thats about all i remember.

one other thing i think i remember them saying was that they were stocking up on incandescent bulbs because they were better and will be outlawed in 2012.

LED sounds the best for accent lighting, but i mean for the main light source for a room.

i picked these GE Reveal incandescent bulbs up today.

GE Consumer & Industrial Lighting: Products: GE Reveal light bulbs

MAJOR BLOOD found the original thread i was talking about. it was over at hisstank.

Can indoor lighting ruin comics? - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe

there's lots of good info in there, all the way to the end of the thread.

im going to stock up on these bulbs i bought today i think.

ill have to look into led more to see whats up with that. or maybe someone here has more info.

thanks for the info, just changed out my CLF to normal ones... but now im so used to CFL being more white than normal bulb everything looks yellow now lol... not damaged yellow, just the yellow color coming from the bulb

very interesting. And makes total sense. I've never really given too much thought to what kind of lighting I use but I will now. Thanks!
