Am I the only one that has a listing where things are not just perfect. Maybe the carpet is stained, maybe the walls need painting, maybe the light is bad. I mean the kitchen or great room looks good, but with the fluorescent light things look a little dark. Well I just had an eye opening experience with fluorescent lighting. Most of the bulbs in the homes are CW (cool white) bulbs. People use these because they are the least expensive. Well I had a dark kitchen that needed more light. The lamps were switched to a Daylight lamp and the difference is amazing. The kitchen is much brighter and the colors look better. The lamps were switched to Phillips Alto Daylight lamps. The CW lamps cost about $1.25 each. The Daylight lamps cost about $3.99 each. But, they are worth every cent. Wow, what a difference!

Great advice and find! Thanks for sharing. Also, I reccomend homes with small children make sure they clean off door knobs. Little hands often leave PB&J behind and when a buyer opens a closet door...they get a tactile example of "yuck".
