Raise your hand if you feel intimidated by the light bulb aisle. Personally, I think there are way too many choices, and I never know what bulb to pick—there are just so many variations in size, strength, and warmth. Because I get overwhelmed by the options, I usually just stick with the exact same light bulb I was using before—or pick blindly. Otherwise, I’d be standing in the home improvement store for an hour comparing lumens and wondering how that’s even different from watts.
However, the right light can make or break a room, and having experienced a room with several different kinds of bulbs (which is what you’re left with when you blind-pick), I know it’s far from ideal. Besides, like many things in life, they’re not so hard to understand if you take the time to figure out what, exactly, a lumen is.
