You Have the Wrong Lightbulbs — Here's What Hotels Do Instead

You have the wrong lightbulbs in your house. Almost everyone does — because the builder installed whatever the electrician brought by the case, and nobody told you there was a difference. That's why the house you fell in love with during the day feels harsher, flatter, and colder at night. It's not your decor or your paint. It's the bulb.
