cfls are horrible things, the best for room lighting is a full size fluorescent light (3-6ft), you can get them in cool or warm white, they don't cast shadows and it's as bright as day, don't buy those poncy decorative fittings, they burn out all the time and are about as bright as a match.
He wants a fitting for his house, most likely his living room. Don't you think a 6ft fluorescent fitting would look sh*t?
I use CFL a lot but there is a trick to putting them in ? Let me explain customer says they are too dull so I go and put one in and they say great how did you do it well you need to size up ? Let me explain a 60 watt lamp = a 11watt CFL well no actually it = 50 watts hence why its too dull. So I fit a 15watt CFL meant to = 75 watts but more like 65 watts plus I advise that incandescent lamps just expire but CFL fade so when you see it going black around the base start to think about changing it.
Bang on, I always fit the brightest one I can get to fit. (mostly 20w) Stops the moaning straight off. For anyone who struggles with their eyesight, I stock a 30w daylight recommended by the RNIB. Try saying that isn't bright enough. (Although it's a large lamp)
I have found that the brightest bulb I can find (from normal shops) is a 20w spiral cfl, it's much brighter than a 100w incandescent although it takes a little while to come on.
You saying my shop isn't 'normal'
Nope, it's more like narnia.....
