Now that the old type of light bulb is on the way out and the long life low energy bulb is king, it means that it takes a bit more effort to light a room. This is probably no bad thing, as two or three soft light sources is better than a single 100 watt bulb. Does it save any energy? Probably not, but hey.

Especially important are directional, concentrated lights sources. Have a browse through furniture online and see what would help light up your living room.
