The two existing f-light fixtures in my kitchen each use two of the 24-inch bulbs - my 58-year-old baby boomer eyes need more light in the kitchen.
There are cool white, soft white and a bunch of other bulb types - what's going to give me the most light with the least impact on power draw? Should I just go with whatever bulb offers the most lumens?
I am considering replacing the two existing fixtures with two fixtures that'd each use two of the 48-inch bulbs. How much more light should I expect with the 48-inch tubes - will I see 2X the light I'm getting with the
24-inch tubes?Is there a particular type of f-light (ballast, etc.) that will give me the most light with the least power draw? How much more power draw with the
48-inch tubes - 2X?Right now, if I'm running a few burners on the stove, and running the dishwasher, and running the external exhaust fan on the stove-top, with the kitchen lights on, sometimes the microwave kicking off will dim the ceiling f-lights - so I'm trying to minimize any additional power draw.
Thanks.
