Over the years my tastes have changed when it comes to how I like a room lit. I either like very low light or I want the room lit up like the sun. I loathe shadows when I am trying to work on the computer or read a book or do little handy jobs, like installing a curtain rod or a new toilet seat. I want to be able to see what I am doing. I only really like the low light when I am sitting quietly with a cup of tea talking to my daughter or a friend.

I’m not a fan of overhead lighting, either. I hate fixtures that put a naked bulb in my line of vision. It makes me anxious and jumpy. So, I prefer the ceiling fans not have light fixtures on them. Therefore, I need to make sure the rest of the indoor lighting in the house is pretty well planned. I have my lamps situation so that I can fully light any room in the house.

I have no idea when I got so picky about how a room is lit. Maybe I am just getting old and my eyesight is more light dependant than it used to be.
