Need help with Compact Fluorescent California Home



Our vanity bathroom has a 26W Nutone Compact Fluorescent 2 pin light / with fan - ceiling light. ( the light appears to be about 9 inches long)



It is so dark with this light in the bathroom. I am desperately trying to get a brighter light...I searched all over the internet. Went to Home Depot etc. No luck. Not sure why they do not make brighter lights for 2 pin Compact Fluorescents.



Any suggestions..where I can a brighter 2 pin Compact Fluorescent light.


FYI....I am not handy.



Any help would be highly appreciated.



Thanks Anna

Give these guys a call Monday. They've always been helpful and fair in my dealings and they have plenty of catalogue reach for what isn't shelved. If there is a minimum mail order you don't want to deal with, you will still be able to find out if there is something available and, quite likely, who makes it.

If a 26W compact flourescent isn't bright enough then I suggest adding additional light fittings.

26W is quite a bright CFL. Equivalent to around 100W regular bulb if I remember correctly.

Most on the Nutone website seem to use 14W CFL so is it possible the light has already been upgraded ?

Wasn't aware that 2 pin 9" long fluorescent bulb could be described as a compact fluorescent bulb...

Look for lamps with a color of 4100k.
