[QUOTE=Prism99;6885547]I decided to do a little Googling and came up with this website:
http://www.npr.org/2014/01/28/267185...s-faq-can-help

This is a good site.
My husband found an article stating that incandescent lighting is better for putting you to sleep. Your natural sleep cycles turn on better with them. Since he spends a lot of the evening and night time in his recliner, he decided to put an incandescent bulb in his new Ottlight CFL fixture. I smelled something funny, and when we found out what it was, the white plastic had already turned quite brown. The small plastic shade had melted onto the bulb. After it got cool again, he spent hours snapping the burnt plastic off with a pliers so that we could get the bulb out.

He won't do that again!
