i hate fluorescent lightbulbs, though i know it's wise to use energy-efficient bulbs. i put one of them on the front door of my brownstone building in NYC (it goes on automatically at night). but when i come home at night, every house looks warm and inviting (with regular bulbs) except mine, which looks cold and sinister like a bomb shelter.

the bulbs lacks the warmth of regular light bulbs. sometimes when i look at them, i feel like i'm getting a glimpse into the desolate future were facing with disastrous global warming changes, extreme storms, fights over land use, water, war, etc. panic and despair.
