got a light?

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was a good one. We all survived spring break but I will say I was happy for a return to 'normal' this morning.<br /><br />I was at Lowe's yesterday (surprise, surprise) and once again I couldn't pull the trigger and buy energy efficient bulbs.<br /><br />Recycling, eating organic, buying locally, low VOC - I'll help mother earth out as much as the next girl. But when it comes to lighting, I'm a bit hardheaded. (ok, I'm really hardheaded about a lot of things, but I won't go there. not without drinks.)<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG0TmKblS_4iArB7xOrCnAWizAWBIf9kGiMUbF3AShgdts3LyU2I6CsxZYYJCJIZIPp-8_6XRkNQ9ON3pN5L4O1bqyVhojsCUWM3R0lwxk4OLW1acJ7HYrsblD7rWjfdh2BFri1mzOI17N/s1600/prod640021.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG0TmKblS_4iArB7xOrCnAWizAWBIf9kGiMUbF3AShgdts3LyU2I6CsxZYYJCJIZIPp-8_6XRkNQ9ON3pN5L4O1bqyVhojsCUWM3R0lwxk4OLW1acJ7HYrsblD7rWjfdh2BFri1mzOI17N/s400/prod640021.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">via <a href="http://media.restorationhardware.com/is/image/rhis/prod640021?$PD$" target="_blank">Restoration Hardware</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />I like mood lighting. I don't have a bulb in my house that's over 40 watts. We have recessed lighting (halogen) in a few rooms and we have dimmers everywhere we can. But with the government starting to shake me down, and phasing out regular bulbs over the next few years (yes, I am hoarding my 25 and 40 watt bulbs like I'm preparing for nuclear war), I'm realizing that I need to adapt to this wether I like it or not.<br /><br />So Halogen, CFL, LED. What do you know? What do you use? What do you like?
