white lights

"Natural daylight" compact fluorescent look more brightly white to me than the ones they label "bright white".

I replaced the bulbs in one bathroom with "natural daylight" ones, and it's amazing the difference in light/color between that room and the adjoining room, which now looks yellowish in comparison.

The new bulbs are buzzy though. Some bulbs smell bad when they're new; some bulbs make annoying buzzy sounds. Some are fine. I think I've had the best luck so far with GE ones.

The store also had an LED bulb on display. I was surprised at how bright it seemed, as the brightest ones on sale were only comparable to 40W incandescents. But maybe it seemed brighter than it was, due to being in a small enclosure.
