About this fix

I realized that the two light bulbs in my bathroom were incandescents not cfls. They have now been replaced. Not sure how much impact this will have since they were not on very often anyway though.

Also, to anyone worried about the color of CFL bulbs, check the color temperature of the package you are buying. You want something in the (2700K–3000K) range to look the same as an incandescent. If your bulbs seem blue, they probably have a higher color temp. The reason for the higher temp (bluer) is they can (or could) be made slightly more efficient. (This part would have been a reply to another fix, but no way of commenting yet)
