I have tried the Reveal bulbs and didn't care for them at all. They burn out too fast for the cost. They are bright but too glaring, no where near the clearness of the OTT light. I can see black stitches on black fabric with the OTT light.

I think the law is bulbs 100 watts and over will not be sold. So no regular bulbs in that wattage at all and the new 100 watt bulbs to be available I read in an article will be very expensive . I stocked up on the regular 3 way bulbs. No way I can keep all I need though. I think Texas has said no, the state won't outlaw the bulbs. Way to go Texas!!!!!
Interesting on your evaluation and specifics of the law. Thanks!
