60 watts to illuminate just one room used to be the norm. Now it sounds insane. Maybe losing the perfect color rendering index was a worthwhile tradeoff after all.

Sitting in my tiny Chicagoland apartment with my AC blown out, I could reach my arm out in the kitchen and feel the temperature from my single 60W bulb in the corner.

A year or so ago I touched a 60W incandescent and about peeled skin. Forgot how much heat comes from a glowing filament!

Anyone still call your power bill the "light bill"? :)
