Dial DOWN the light!
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Make your living room more romantic, increase the wattage of the light bulbs to 100 or 150. (It’s essential that your lamps are labeled to accept this wattage; if not, they’ll need rewiring, which may cost about $30.) Then install dimmer switches and dial the brightness down. You’ll get a golden-yellow light that encourages intimate conversations.
Why not just start with less wattage? Because a 100-wattbulb dimmed to 60 watts casts a yellower light - more like candlelight - than a plain 60-watt bulb. So simple but it works! Try it.
