CFL hack CFL hack!
wal-mart now sells 5watt light bulbs 3 for 10$ and 9watts
you can intensify light extremely by painting the surrounding area in semi-gloss paint,
by this I mean paint the actual old rust dusty light fixture entire white semi-gloss two coats till coverd and instantly before the paint even dries you will notice how much brighter the bulb looks
I can light an entire kitchen pantry extremely well like this
try 20$ a month for electric its a good feeling
you can also paint a new fresh coat of white paint on nearby doors/trim to also enhance lighting
try to use matte for the doors though, it has less of a cooling effect and is cleanable
try 10-led solar shed lights too available at bennys
semi-gloss paint has a cooling effect though so would use it sparingly throughout your house unless, youre in a hot climate
