What watt bulbs do you use most?
We have mostly 40 watt bulbs here. I went to change a bulb and only had a 75 and 100 watt bulbs to replace it with.
Too bright! LOL
I have to admit that our house is dark though. (both with artificial and natural lighting)

We use 40 and 60 watts bulbs. Last year Walgreens had GE bulb 4 packs on sale for 10/ 1.00 so I bought 100 so I think I'm stocked for life.

We use 60 watt also but I do like to have 100 watt when I'm quilting.

I run the whole gambit, In the fixtures that have 3 or more lights I use 40 watt, singles I use 60 and 75. Then in our table lamps next to our chairs I have the ones that on very low they are actually a night light and they go up to 100 watt. I use this not dh especially when I'm knitting or crocheting while watching tv. In my sewing room I have lights on big arms I can move around and those have 100 or 150 watts, I'm not sure.

my dh will only replace a light bulb with 100 watt! Sometimes it is way to bright, but thats the way he likes it.

We use 60 watt here. I think that's bright enough. Who knows it might get brighter as I get older. *L*
