I walked in there tonight and flipped on the lights.
Holy crap! The new bulbs are beyond bright. Like the light from the top of the Luxor Hotel has been moved into my john. I felt like I was peeing inside a tanning bed. I was frantically looking for Coppertone in the cabinet over the toilet.
While washing my hands I realized that the worst part of this incredible luminescence is the way it shows how many gray hairs I have (of the few left at all). I went out to complain to Mrs. Grumpy, who said she didn't care.
She went in there an hour later, and after seeing her own gray hairs illuminated so clearly, immediately drove back to Home Depot to get significantly lower wattage bulbs.

lol. the only sensible solution, I agree.
"Ignorance is Bliss" is a life lesson that seems to be playing itself out quite a lot lately.
Blame the kids. The grey hair HAS to be from them.
Lord knows, you've blogged enough about it. ;) And please don't ever stop!
I never understood the power equivalency rating. The number of lumins or candles from the compact florescence were always much higher then the slandered incandescent bulb. It drives me crazy.
But the lights make gray hair sparkle like glitter so you are ready to party or convince your kids you are sparkly vampires like the ones in Twilight.
No, they just think I'm old.
We have one of those light fixtures with something like 8 globes that run along the vanity. Its like stage lights if we keep all 8 on so we keep 3-4 of them burned out at all times. I dont need to see my face at 6am in blinding light. In fact, I'd prefer not to even SEE my face before a shower thanks.
Amen, PC. Once you hit your 30's, candlelight is your friend!
