I needed some new 60w lightbulbs so I went to Walmart to have a look. It's been awhile since I went bulb shopping and of course they don't sell the old incandescent bulbs anymore. I have bought the more energy efficient ones in the past but never felt they were bright enough. I chose these LED ones and tested it at home. It is VERY bright, so I can't complain anymore. They also had a selection of fluorescent bulbs. What kind do you use?
I also wanted to donate some old pairs of eyeglasses I no longer needed. I found a store that sells eyeglasses and they were happy to accept my donation. Decluttering can be a slow process, but it was a good feeling.
In other news, I had my yearly physical recently and the doctor gave me a TDaP booster shot for Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis. These have to be updated from time to time, were you aware of this?

I rarely buy bulbs, but the ones I have are bright. I'm still using up those I bought many years back. My booster shots are due next year, the doc always sends a reminder when its time. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
LEDs tend have more kick than CFLs when it comes to brightness. They certainly use far less energy than the two others. That's all that's in my house. But yes, you have to look up lumens not wattage most of the time.
But the good thing about LEDs is that if your whatever can only take 40w you can put the equivalent to 60w in the thing because it's using just a few watts of its own and wont' overpower the wiring
Good info Adam, thanks.
Last time I had to buy bulbs I was at a full-service hardware store, and the associate was able to walk me through the process of choosing. It was still very confusing, though.
We got rid of incandescent bulbs a long time ago. Now we only use LEDs. They are terrific.
I knew about the Tetanus shot, but updating Diptheria and Pertussis in new to me!
I'm glad that you got your boosters. I actually didn't know that you still had to get them. I wonder what diseases I'm no longer immune to. The store up the road from me has loads of old lightbulbs left. I think the energy efficient bulbs have gotten much brighter, but they're still so expensive. It's a real shame.
I love lamps, and night lights, so I do keep a supply of bulbs in house. Have not seen the LED ones. Will look.
Thank you for the info on the shots Christine. I will mention this to my doctor if he doesn't bring it up. I have not thought of donating ole eye-glasses, so thank you for that also. I can't remember what lights I got now but they start out with a very low light and get a lot brighter after a few minutes.
I am glad they have been developing the lights, they're much better than they used to be... Thanks for the info on the boosters.
Yes the light bulbs we recently got seem quite bright ...
Our GP's usually send reminder letters for tests, shots etc.
Glad you are all up to date with yours.
All the best Jan

That's exactly the sort of bulbs we use. I prefer the daylight bulbs.
