Chinese Lanterns, Apartments, And Lofts
If you're going for maximum luminosity, lowest heat, and lowest power consumption, then you're going to want to go florescent. Now, a lot of the negatives to florescent are getting checked off by the quarter. Now, you can dim florescent lights even. You've got all the shades covered, that you can achieve with a filament, and there are all sorts of formats, in the way of shapes and sizes of these bulbs, on par with neon. And then there is the issue of its employment device. What lamp should you use? Well, Chinese lanterns (not usually or actually considered a lantern, but a fashion of a lantern) are popular. They're popular because of the fact that they sort of spew defused light in all directions, sort of like a chandelier does but without the fancy stones, and without all the heavy weight; they're often used in loft spaces with high ceilings, and minimalist apartment spaces.
