Rays of hope as Britain switches to new light bulbs and a grey autumn

Rays of hope as Britain switches to new light bulbs and a grey autumn - Telegraph
But most of all it is the quality of the light they emit that upsets me.
The CFL bulbs drape everything in a sickly pallor reminiscent of Romanian orphanages.

Every time I sit down to read a book, my heart sinks as the page reflects back a deathly, damp patch of bluish grey;
it turns lovingly prepared food into something served up in a 24-hour carvery;
a family game of Scrabble becomes supervised recreation hour at Pentonville Prison.
