Home Lighting Makeover with GE reveal® Light Bulbs (Giveaway)

You’ve probably heard a lot about light bulbs lately, since the old standard incandescent bulbs will be off the market soon.  Of course we’ve had alternatives to those for several years now, and you’ve probably used some of them, particularly the spiral compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs.

I personally never cared much for the CFL bulbs.  I think the spiral appearance is unsightly.  And though you can buy “regular” looking CFLs now, I’ve always found the light to be too harsh and too cold (and some of them take forever to “warm up”).  On the other hand, the yellow light from incandescent bulbs is unnatural and not flattering at all, and can leave your home too dark (not to mention the fact they use way more energy and burn out quickly).

So what’s a girl to do?  If you asked me that a few weeks ago, my answer would have probably been “deal with it”, but now it is, “Go replace all your bulbs with GE reveal® l bulbs as fast as you can!”
GE provided a complimentary set of their newest 75-watt halogen and 60-watt LED reveal® bulbs for me to try, and I am totally sold.  Instead of the dull too-yellow lighting from incandescents, and the harshness of CFLs, I now have beautiful, natural light throughout my home.

GE reveal® bulbs make the colors in your home “pop” with clean, full-spectrum lighting.  You’ve put a lot of work into making your home look nice; why shadow it with dull lighting that hides its true beauty?  Just look at the difference it made for me:

These pictures were taken in the evening, since that’s the time of day when I’m most frequently frustrated by my poor lighting.  You can see here how much less yellow the “after” picture is, but the difference is even more obvious in person.  I prefer this more natural looking lighting all the time, but I find that I especially appreciate it when I’m reading bedtime stories to the kids and when I’m applying my make up.  (Yeah, bad lighting has resulted in some…interesting eye makeup applications in the past.  You don’t even want to know.)
